Comments: Individual subscription information on the web site

as well as information and FAQ's about the CD-ROMs. There are

also discussion items and essays on Saving Private Ryan, Amistad,

CNN's Cold War, and a host of other topics. The Table of Contents

for the last thirty years is there as well. The last two issues deal with

The Holocaust in Film.



Next conference is in November, 2002 on The American West(s) in

Film, Television, and History at the Kansas City Marriott, Country Club

Plaza--just a few blocks from the Nelson Art Gallery, a major institution

and just next door to the Kansas City Arts Institute. We are looking for

energetic

people to serve as Area Chairs and will put a list of existing and

available Area Chair topics on the web site this summer.

Some years back, we produced a wonderful issue on the The
