If you can send me a copy of the tpe, that would be great. I don't have any experience with transferring sound files by e-mail, but if you want to try I'm game.

By s-mail, I am at . Home phone , office phone 9.

Dear Ron,
My students are on spring break. They are absolutely fascinated by the radical (for them) notion that tiny features of discourse trigger their attitudinal response, and are looking forward to analyzing the data in class. When they return, I'll play them a tape of 'envelope' speakers and ask them to bubble the questionnaire below for each of the speakers.  Do you want a copy of the tape?  I will send the data and some comments in a couple of weeks.
Yours, Boyd
