My name is Paul Hunter ([log in to unmask]).  I am a professor of
rhetoric at North Lake College in Dallas, Texas.  My scholarly
work (in College English and similar journals) deals promarily
with history of rhetoric.  I am working on a book, called
Spiritual Pragmatism, about a number of figures in the history of
rhetoric.  A few of these figure appear in history of alcohol,
especially Bill and Lois Wilson.  I have no questions for ATHG
about those figures, but intend only to eavesdrop on
conversations.  My greatest hope in not necessarily that I learn
something new about the Wilsons, but that I find other figures
who use ideas from classical rhetoric in original ways.  (By the
way, for Bill Wilson, it's his use of paradox that interests me.)
