Peter, thank you for your comment.  But tell me (because I think you 
may know) how many doctoral programs REQUIRE both economic history 
and history of thought as part of the core program?  How many require 
either?  And in how many doctoral programs are economic history and 
history of economic thought now completely absent?  My impression is 
that on the first two, the numbers are small, and much smaller than they 
were thirty years ago; and on the last question the numbers may be 
growing.  IF that is the case, how does that frame this discussion?
