[This goes out to most of my address book, to let those who know me mostly 
from classical music, for example, of my other interests. We attended the 
annual meeting here in 2000 and will be back. I know or have been in 
e-contact with or have read books by Arnhart, Gross, Hughes, Masters, 
Roberts, and Rothman.

[What's completely new is two sessions on transhumanism. The sparks flew 
most wildly at the 2000 conference over innate racial differences in 
psychology. My impression is that the passion has gone out of defenders of 
physiology-only differences, and so transhumanism is well-poised to take 
its place at the scene of most contest. We shall see.]
