I wasn't clear -- sorry. What happens when I type inbetween kids calling. David Hufford presented the lecture. And it was beyond fascinating. But it was tantalizing -- just a taste and I wanted much more. He quoted Starr somewhat extensively. I'm unfamiliar with Starr and obviously need to inform myself. I'm very anxious to read a couple of Hufford's books. I also think now I need to read Social Transformation. Looking for Starr on Amazon, there is a new book -- http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0465081932/qid=1082691530/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-5323946-9807005?v=glance&s=books#product-details.

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?
