[CFP is the best conference of its kind, and I highly recommend it, even if, ahem, free-market positions are consistently underrepresented. I reserved my hotel room earlier this week -- $150/night -- but rooms are still available. Is there any interest in a Politech gathering during the conference? --Declan] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2002 12:32:30 -0500 From: Ari Schwartz <ariat_private> To: David Farber <daveat_private>, Declan McCullagh <declanat_private> Subject: CFP2002 Preliminary Program Declan and Dave, I hope that you will consider sending out the CFP2002 preliminary program to your lists.
