Newspapers want op-ed articles that reveal how an historical knowledge of a current issue deepens a reader's understanding or provides a new perspective rather than provide mere historical background. We need historians to generate ideas for op-ed pieces, contact potential writers and help edit submissions. We have a web site: http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~jhurley/ahamedia.html If you'd like to be involved contact Joyce Appleby at <Appleby@history.ucla.edu> or call her at 310-470-8946. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * [6] H-Net would like to invite all subscribers who are going to be attending the annual meeting of the American Political Science Association in San Francisco, August 29- September 1 to stop by the H-Net booth in the exhibit hall and meet with the H-Net editors in attendance. H-Net and the American Political Science Association have reached an agreement in principle for H-Net to host APSA endeavors on the Internet. H-Net and the APSA will co-sponsor new electronic discussion lists in political science and work together to build up resources for political scientists on the WWW. Both Mark Kornbluh, chair H-Net Executive Committee, and Peter Knupfer, Associate Director of H-Net, will be at the APSA meetings and are eager to talk to any scholars interested in developing new lists or working on Internet projects. Hope to see you in San Francisco..... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * [7] HOT OFF THE PRESSES!! The summer 1996 issue of Feminist Studies (Volume 22 number 2) has just come out!
