Introduction

I checked a LARGE number of links to select the ones listed here. Except for the Link pages section all the links here go either directly to the content or as close as I could reasonably get. Most of the links I looked at, in preparing this list, go to pages with just more links. You can read a lot of pages before you actually see any content. The main point of this page is that I did that job already so you don't have to.
