typos (not to mention my own), and places and dates have a way of changing
suddenly, so be sure to check with the convention committees before making
final plans. A SASE should be included in all inquiries to convention
committees. To correct any errors, or submit additional information, send
mail to SF-LOVE...@RUTGERS.EDU.
