Dear Carol-
I could open the attachment on a few computers at my university. Please try
to use Acrobat Reader 6 - I wonder if the problem is with older versions of
Acrobat - you can get the newest version from http://www.acrobat.com The
little text box you saw on Page 1 is the detailed reference of the fragment.
Let me know if you still have problems,
Eugene
PS I LOVE Renee and Jaan's book about Vygotsky because it contextualized
Vygotsky's work in academic and political history and culture.
