I toss most of them aside, but I always find I hold up on Florida Tech Today and end up reading at least half the articles. The content is interesting and varied, the design and layout are snappy and modern, the graphics are grabby. I basically rank it with MIT’s Technology Review and Stanford Magazine. Sometimes I even get show ideas from it. So congratulations on a job well done.

It is dedicated in purpose and program to translating this country's heritage of democratic ideals into a way of life for all Americans in our time. AD L was founded in 1913 with a handful of stationery, two desks in a Chicago law office, and a group of determined volunteers who set as its goal "to end the defamation of the Jewish people ... to secure justice and fair treatment for all citizens alike." Overt and unabashed anti-Semitism was the order of the day: resort advertising that read, "No do~! No Jews!"; offensive caricatures of Jews in magazine cartoons; crude and cruel stereotypes on stage and screen; best-seller circulation of such anti­ Semitic documents as "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion"; the trial by prejudice of Leo Frank, a "Yankee Jew" accused of rape and murder in Atlanta, Ga., a few years after the Bellus "ritual murder" case in Russia.

The Club, which started out as a circle consisting of Peirce‘s own students in his logic class, held the total of 43 meetings, with 110 presentations delivered, of which 33 were classified as principal papers. These presentations, as we document in this paper, testify the club‘s impact on the development of the methodology of sciences in the late 19th-century United States. Of particular interest is the close relation of the new and emerging scientific approaches to philosophical, methodological and logical issues discussed by the Club‘s members.

Having played the instru- ment for, then, almost two decades, I thought that a novelist would not, could not, feature specialty instruments such as the C-melody sax if he did not play the horn himself. Once the saxophone had caught my attention, I noticed all sorts of uncommon references that seemed to confirm my hunch that Thomas Pynchon himself played the instrument: McClintic Sphere’s 4½ reed, the contra- bass sax of Against the Day, Gravity’s Rainbow’s Charlie Parker passage.
