Dear Tipsters, I don't know about years, but for an interesting and extremely moving account of B. F. Skinner's final days, read this. I have quoted parts in my introductory psychology classes and can attest to moist eyes - mine included.

They both are heading up an B.F. Skinner archive committee and would be more than happy to clarify any questions about his final years.
