Norman's listed in the Brooklyn directory.
He also has a website at <http://www.normanfinkelstein.com>. There's a Real Player clip of a German TV profile of him <http://www.normanfinkelstein.com/debate_on_ger_tv.html>, that includes a priceless moment of the head of the World Jewish Congress saying "Norman Finkelstein is full of shit." You can't buy publicity like that.
