[Xmca-l] Re: Sad news-- Jerry Bruner has died

[Andy Blunden]

Some years ago I found the full video on the internet, and I 
went through excising the Spanish to produce this speech in 
English. Alas, I don't seem to have a copy of the full video 
and I can't see it on the internet anyway, so I have no 
further information on it, Mike.
