Just spotted Goldstone. As of January of 02 he was at UC Davis in sociology. Looked to have been a student of Skocpol's at Harvard. Went all the way through there which is not a good idea.

Here's an interesting set of responses he wrote last September, posted on the ssrc website, about bin Laden, et al, to Charles Tilly.

And here's Tilly's original e-mails (note the date of 9-12-01) to which Goldstone replies:

In case anyone does not know, Charles Tilly is one of our most eminent historical sociologists. His focus has been revolutionary movements in 19th century Europe.

Tilly's predictions made in the few days just after 9-11 and Goldstone's response (no doubt, there were others) are of interest for more than simply their historical value, given Tilly's placement in academia, but as an interesting exercise in social science prediction, which he clearly intends it to be.
