Several of the authors among us have been busy lately. Tom Moore, who is in the department of sociology at the University of Wisconsin, has come out with a major study of worker displacement tided The Disposable Work Force. BobBell, who is at Williams, has come out with a paperback version of his Jocoserious Joyce: TheFate of Folly in Ulysses. I loved one particular reviewer who referred to Bob as "a very funny man...who savors the ridiculous like a special wine."

Our own Dr.Edward W. Campion is now an editor of the New England Journal of Medicine. There he recently wrote on work on predicting Alzheimer's disease. With both genetic tests and brain-scan research beginning to suggest an ability to predict who will acquire the disease, his analysis reminded readers that as yet no treatment is available for those at high risk and suggested the practical problems that may come with this new knowledge.

The press has recently highlighted the roles of two classmates in their public service work in the arts. Rick Grefe, who is the executive director of the American Institute of Graphic Arts, has been elected as a trustee of the Silvermine Guild Arts Center in Connecticut. A recent major article in the New York Observer focused on Fred Henry's role as a trustee of the Dia Arts Foundation, which owns museums and major collections in New York. Also getting press in the New York arts arena was Jerry Zaks for his Tony nomination for A Funny Thing Happened on theWay to the Forum, which so many '67s enjoyed at the mini reunion.

And speaking of reunions, remember that we have scheduled a special 30th. We will be celebrating with a fall football weekend in Hanover this time, so save October 3and 4,1997. Put it on the calendar now.

Send me your news.
