On this website I provide information on my writings.
While there are references to items that have appeared as early as the 1950's,
links to texts are confined to the computer age. My 1973 booklet on Gypsies,
however, can be downloaded in PDF format (see below).
The Archives at the University of British Columbia have a
biographical sketch and information concerning my research on Gypsies and other
topics.

I BEG TO DISAGREE -- My blog on this and that
Do you want to learn about Ethiopian Jews,
Trotskyist goon squads, Alger Hiss, Photoshop, the Rorschach test, a really
good English dictionary ? And much else ? Read all about it !
Would you like to learn about hanky-panky in non-governmental
organizations (NGOs), or about all
the words in the bible ? all about the
world's languages ? about the Arabs' take on America ? Or perhaps you would like access to the family trees of (almost) all
the Jewish families in the world ?
Or learn about the Ethiopian Jews
? A lot of information on such matters, and much else, all just a bit out of
the way, on
