I am not sure my *I agree* will make much of a difference here,
but I certainly agree with both you and John when it comes to
clear-ness and, for someone like myself who is not an expert, 
it is quite important. I found Heath's summary (I don't know 
of another word, though *summary* looks bad now when I wrote it, 
I'd go with *reconstruction*, but I am not sure...) of JH's 
discussion of typology of social actions.  Anyway, here is the 
word from an amateur - it is an interesting book... BTW, thanks
for review, John.
