[Air-l] how to write real good

[Yosem Companys]

Barry,

I am sorry to bother you again.

I was wondering whether you could also direct me to the "Lifecycle of
Authorhoods" and "Bum Raps: Notes of a Weary Conference Goer" papers,
or send them to me directly.

Thank you so much for your help!  :-)

Best,

Yosem
