Hi Randy, I have some stuff on MT and the Chinese in my book, and I know Steve Courtney will have plenty of new material on Twichell's evolving views and social contributions in his biography of JT coming out soon. I did not know of Martin Zehr's work in this area -- is there a book in the near future on this topic, Martin? Harold K.

You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something." --Henry David Thoreau
