Hmm, B.F. Skinner references never peter out completely. There may just be a few years between them. :)
A friend of mine studied Skinner as his area of expertise. The last time I saw him he showed me a hand written letter from Skinner accepting him as an intern. My friend is probably retired by now. Time whips by when I am not paying attention.
