These are several papers or articles by me that are “in development” to varying degrees, or which for various reasons are not easily available in print. Several were conference papers. In some cases, I have absorbed the material into some other work such as a published book, but in other instances the papers remain “orphans.” They are very mixed and miscellaneous in theme. Here is a chronological listing of the papers of mine included here:
1992 Sticking up for Jews? Anti-Semitic Stereotypes in the English Novel
1996 John Brown and the American Terrorist Tradition
1999 Amphetamine Drugs in the Pacific Rim Region
