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.

My blog on, well
groups on the fringe
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
