During his career, Colin worked on, and directed, several hundred projects involving research and consulting in a number of areas including building vibration and noise, transformer noise, aerodynamic noise, traffic noise and general environmental noise control.

Colin was widely recognized within the microelectronics industry for his contributions to the understanding of the vibration and noise environments of technology buildings.
Gordon says the flow of money and the pull of lobbyists from these interests were able to play on the fears that universal health coverage would erode the power of individual choice, uplift “undeserving” racial groups, and emasculate the husband/father as the provider of a family wage.
Gordon claims that private interests are magnified over public interests in the realm of health care because it was the only arena of social provision where private providers, consumers, and intermediaries were entrenched before national reforms were contemplated.
Gordon goes on to claim that this alternative reinforced long-standing patterns of racial and gender discrimination in such a way that even reformers rarely challenged the premises of Jim Crow or the family wage in health policy.
