This paper is based in part on material to appear in Chapter 8, 'Ethnomethodology; The Specialty that Came in from the Cold', in Nicholas C. Mullins, Theories and Theory Groups in Contemporary Sociology (New York: Harper and Row, 1973). The author wishes to thank Lindsey Churchill, Aaron Cicourel, Hugh Mehan, Carolyn Mullins and Norman Storer, who contributed substantially to the early drafts of this paper; also Science Studies' anonymous reviewer, whose comments helped in the process of refocusing this data more theoretically. 1 Thomas S.
