Yes. I would also claim that Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander is my favorite of Merton's works.

I've heard this quote other places, but never knew the source. "Conjectures" is next up on my Merton to-read list. Thanks for the post!
ReplyDeleteHi, Anonymous. I'm really having considerable trouble figuring out what you're talking about.
ReplyDeleteNever mind. Just let me say that you are quite out of line telling me what my job is as a "future mother". That's quite impossible as I happen to be sixty-one years old!!!!
:-)
One more thing, Anonymous. Did you not notice my policy that unsigned anonymous comments would be deleted? So yours is now about to go.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome to comment again but you MUST choose some name to go by so we can tell the difference between your posts and those of other people posting anonymously.
