    Message 1: stuttering in Lingua Franca

    Subject: stuttering in Lingua Franca


    An article about an unethical 1939 investigation into the causes of stuttering and responses by speech pathologists to recent media allegations about the experiment appear in the November, 2001 issue of Lingua Franca.

    Unfortunately, the article isn't online, and since it was in the last issue of the magazine, it might be difficult to get ahold of.

    In the interest of full disclosure, and at the risk of appearing self-promoting, I should note that I'm the author of the piece.
