I recall with pleasure fruitful exchang ith Al Gouldner, Stanley Aronowitz, Doug Kellner, Bill Leiss, Stanle Rosen, Mark Poster, Steven Vogel, Deborah Cook, Stephen Crowell, Richard Westerman, Timothy Hall, Robert Pi Stefano Giachetti, Shane Gunster, Hans Radder, Allen Wood, Woody Sayre, Michael Lowy and william Rasch.
