Chica</title></head><body>
<div>Hello, as I solicited papers from this list as well as through
The American Sociological Association, I wanted to extend an
invitation to you to attend these two panels containing the work of
some A(O)IR members. If anyone is in Chicago on August
16th, this Friday and can get to the Chicago Hilton and Palmer House
hotels, there are two session you could drop in and see. Please
write me for the room numbers which I will have on Thursday.
Thanks!</div>
