Due in Rogosa's Sequoia Hall mailbox 3 PM Friday June 14 
(graduating students due 5PM Tues 6/11).

   Part 1. Essay
Take the multiple choice question from Rogosa (1987)


    Causal inference from non-experimental research is

       (a) made easy with LISREL

       (b) possible if some attention is given to standard
           assumptions of the statistical analysis

       (c) nearly impossible, unless an exhaustive set of
           theoretical and statistical assumptions (often 
           untestable) are satisfied

       (d) a grand oxymoron


Choose your answer and *explain*.  Make a least casual reference (or better)
to the course readings & content in justifying your answer. Make your 
responses 300-500 words.
