Description
This data was collected for the research of Epstein published in 1969. It
shows the egonetwork of Margaret, and how the gossip get trough those alters.
In the visualization Margaret and her husband are both represented as the
same person in the middle of all the concentric circles. Then, in the matrix
every tie to Margaret, it means if from/to her husband too.
