Hi Julie,
Was the lecture as interesting as I'd expect from Paul Starr? His book  _
The Social Transformation of American Medicine_ is superb. Accessible,
well-researched, well thought-out, and deserving of its Pulitzer. I read it
soon after it was published, in the 80s. He has a new book out now, doesn't
he?
Best,
Carol
