=================== HES POSTING ======================= 
 
Warren, 
 
        I studied economics under Josef Solterer at Georgetown University, 
the School of Foreign Service and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, 
where he was chair of the Department of Economics for the years  1959-63, at 
least.  I know he  taught theory and statistics.   
        It is rather sketchy in memory now but if I remember right, he was 
deeply interested in and even committed to the idea that income increases 
were log normally distributed.  He was also particularly proud of an article 
that he had published "Do Jesuits Die in Three's?" where he felt he has 
shown that random events tend to cluster.   
        He was also closely associated with the Goetz Briefs and the 
Austrians.  You might be able to get very good information from Henry 
Briefs, Goetz's son and also an Econ  Prof at GU.
