When Ossie wrote 'Purlie,' he knew it would open doors that were usually kept closed. Sheldon made it clear to those of us who had certain characters that pushed the envelope that we were to take them to the edge. And sometimes it's difficult to get to that place.
"Harrison Colyar White" is the emeritus Giddings Professor of Sociology at Columbia University. White played an influential role in the “Harvard Revolution” in social networks and the relational sociology/New York School of relational sociology. He is credited with the development of a number of mathematical models of social structure including vacancy chains and blockmodels. He has been a leader of a revolution in sociology that is still in process, using models of social structure that are based on relational sociology/patterns of relations instead of the attributes and attitudes of individuals. He has investigated and modeled persistent social formations like persons and organizations. White and his students have been able to observe and measure the patterns of relationships that appear as social constructs and have taken some of what we have known by common sense and measured it empirically. They have shown that some of our common sense notions are not correct.
The most comprehensive documentation of his theories can be found in the book Identity and Control, first published in 1992. A major rewrite of the book appeared in June 2008. White is currently involved in sociolinguistics and business strategy as well as sociology.

There's a whole lot more confidence on this team, ... We want to win. There's a whole of kids that have grown up losing and we're tired of it - we're just sick and tired of it.
It took a long time last year (for Polytech to get its first win). We've got that one win out of the way at the beginning of the season, now we can go out here and win more.
