A no reply would be just repeated confirmation of scraping the AAMD <A HREF="http://www.aamd.org/papers/" REL="nofollow" TITLE="Guidelines">Guidelines</A> and choosing to serve private interests instead (those of Shelby White in this case).<BR/><BR/>For background on how deep and enduring Shelby White's privileges are, see "<A HREF="http://www.villagevoice.com/news/0034,160940,17570,5.html" REL="nofollow" TITLE="Statues of Limitations">Statues of Limitations</A>" The Village Voice, August 22nd, 2000. Shelby's interlocking within the Academia is especially intriguing, knowing that she holds no degree in any related field.phrygianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01333254369054851602noreply@blogger.com
