Reversal of merger

Larry,
 
An interesting message, with much food for thought.
 
I seem to recall that Halle later discovered that the English data on
which he based his "merger reversal" paper were flawed and he --
privately, at least -- recanted the conclusion, while still holding out
that it "could" happen and waiting for a better case to prove it. I guess
he's still waiting ... Too bad he never put anything in print about all that.
My memory on this may be a bit fuzzy. Perhaps someone else can speak to
the matter with more authority. Does Morris have an e-mail address? (Not
listed in the LSA directory.)
