    Here are some more URL's.  Thanks to everyone who contributed.
    
    Lots of people are forwarding these links around the net, so I'm going
    to include the URL for the RRE home page whenever I manage to think of
    it.  Here it is:
    
      http://dlis.gseis.ucla.edu/people/pagre/rre.html
    
    Someone on the list was kind enough to assemble a nicely formatted Web
    page with all of these lists of URL's in reverse chronological order,
    but I'm afraid I've lost it.  Can you resend?
