A very early book edited by Tom Regan - 1992, but FIRST in 1980 (this one is the 1980 edition). Reminds me of the day Hugo Adam Bedau (a contributor) caught me postering for Tom Regan's Sponsored Lecture at the Christian Unitarian Church in Salem, MA. He laughed when he saw the photo: My old buddy. I've contributed a chapter to one of his books! Great guy, though we hold somewhat different positions on a few core topics. ( )
