Henry,

Many thanks to you for the details about the other collections at
Loyola-New Orleans and The University of Texas Harry Ransom Center. I
didn't know about these. This is very helpful! I will also be sure to check
out The Walker Percy Project.

Lauren,

I will definitely check out the "conciliatory principle." As for David
Bohm, a communication scholar that I respect and admire (Corey Anton)
teaches Bohm's *On Dialogue, *though, I haven't read it yet myself.

Thank you both!
Justin
