With apologies to all the other American calderonistas beyond the greater
Midwest, I'd like to call attention to the forthcoming symposium at the
University of Illinois, Chicago's Institute for the Humanities, April 28
and 29, 2000.  If you're in the neighborhood, you're most welcome to join
in the celebration.  My thanks to Vern Williamsen's listserv for allowing
this message to reach you.
