<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You'll find not really a review but a

far as I can make out from this account, the book isn't truly about 
<BR>linguistics other than to broaden and justify the case for innatism <BR>by 
making it appear equally valid for many other fields.  Specious & 
<BR>obfuscative, I'd say.</FONT></DIV>
