I am in the process of uploading PDF versions of published and unpublished papers to this web site. You are welcome to download and read as you desire. If you quote or use please give the proper credit and references. More coming but this is a start. My first published article was in 1975–when I was still in graduate school at the University of Chicago, so these go back now over 40 years.
