@aspasia_project woah! Link please!

@swopusa so--bad news is that the link here is down, but it's the second policy brief http://publicpolicy.umbc.edu/policy-briefs/ -
@swopusa this is the best copy I've found and it's a mess in my browser http://www.pdfio.net/k-39818511.html . . . HOWEVER -
@swopusa I've got the relevant paragraph excerpted as part of an email exchange with the author. Forward? -
@aspasia_project Yes please!!!
-
@swopusa OK I've pastebin'd it--wasn't sure whether I ought to email the listed SWOP-USA address. http://pastebin.com/VTza1UiC -
