In April and May of 1988 Analog published a two part essay by Michael 
Flynn called "The State of Psychohistory." I found it very illuminating 
on EP and it's had a powerful influence on my thinking ever since..  I 
started a search in back issue collections for it and when I find it 
I'll pass it on to you.  Flynn made EP very understandable.  -- Thomas
