(I so dislike the sound of my voice on the recording, but oh well. I think that the sound quality gets better, once the actual lecture begins. There are a few questions in the Q & A that I would have liked to have answered more clearly, but again, as the Russians say, takova zheezen.)
I defended my dissertation with distinction/honors.

Since the thesis is under contract with UMI, I cannot share it as a PDF.
