NOTES ON COLLEAGUES: Maria Miliora retired earlier this year from her professorship at Suffolk University and her private practice of psychoanalysis to recuperate from brain surgery and devote full time to her research and writing.

Her next book, America’s Old West in Fact and in the Movies, is half completed. Ruth Dale Meyer presented “Clio’s Circle: Historians
