    Finally, please start planning for our next conference in the fall of
2004-yes, 2004.  Topic is "War in Film, Television, and History" and
the event will be in early November (as per our last meeting).  We are still
negotiating with a special site, but have not yet signed a contract.   The
next issue of Film & History will have essential information and tell your
fellow film scholars about this forum.
