NEW COMPUTER: The computer donated to the Forum and Clio’s Psyche in 1995 was inadequate for the work and spending too much time being repaired. We have just purchased a Dell Pentium IV desktop computer and a Brother laser printer. Any donations towards payment will be appreciated.

CORRECTION: We wish to apologize to Mary Coleman for an inadvertent error in excerpting from her response on why war is so crazy in the interview in the March 2001 issue in the Best of Clio’s Psyche: 1994-2001. Members will be able to learn firsthand her views on war when she will present on the subject this coming November.

DEATH: Mel Kalfus died on February 24. See notice on page 207.

MEMORIAL: The Spring/Summer, 2001 (Vol. 8, No. 1/2), issue of Bridges, “The Market as God: Converting Creation into Commodities,” was dedicated to the memory of George M. Kren, the late member of the our Editorial Board. For a website on Kren, see <www.ideajournal.com/KrenBio.html>.
