I meant to ask you when you sent this and just found it again in my mailbox,
have you ever read Dr. Hancock's book "The Pariah Syndrom"?  I took his 
class as an elective and found it to be an interesting mixture of public
and private information.  He was telling us how private the Rom are but also
was telling us information about the Rom.  I thought I still had my class
notes but of course I can't find those.  Anyways, if you haven't read
his book, I do have a copy of it if you would like to borrow it.  (The book
is no longer in print.)
