I just skimmed the first few pages, so take anything I say
with a grain of salt, but it seemed to me that one would
have to be familiar with VB to get much out of the review: a
good chunk of MacC's argument appears to be that Chomsky
either didn't understand or misrepresented what Skinner was
actually saying.  I've not read VB (and know damn-all about
behaviorism anyway), so I'm not part of the intended
audience.
