Terry et al.,
    Tom Veatch wrote a really interesting dissertation on dialects
of American English a couple years ago and looked at (R) arguing it
was a glide. His email is
    tv[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]sprex.com,  or   veatch[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]bhasha.stanford.edu
His diss. was U. Penn 1991, "English Vowels: Their surface phonology
and phonetic implementation in vernacular dialects". (He looked at
data from Corky Feagin's Anniston Ala. study, my Jamaican Creole study
in Kingston, Otto Santa Ana's Chicano English study, and Sherry Ash's
Chicago White English data.)
