A major theoretical result of this work was the publication (with Louis J. Ronsivalli) of <I>Quality Assurance of Seafood</I> (van Nostrand Reinhold, 1988). A major practical result of this work was the introduction of fresh fish into the nation's supermarkets, and thus fresh fish -- with its attendant considerable benefits for the health and the diet -- became available even in the most remote parts of the nation's hinterland.       </div> <div>            During 1994-1996 Mr. Gorga was Center Scholar at The Center for American Studies at Concord and worked on the implementation of a document entitled the <I>Spirit of Economic Rights and Responsibilities</I>.
