An interesting aspect of virgin birth is explored at the conclusion of
Walter J. Miller Jr.'s novel A CANTICLE FOR LEIBOWITZ, which -- I believe--
every humanist ought to have read.

(1) "Immersion" French courses in France or Canada.

I'm passing on to the membership a request from a colleague in our School of
Education who has asked me about "immersion"-type French-language courses for
adults in France or Canada. Apparently he'd like to gear up for an eventual
visit to his wife's relatives in France. He mentioned preferring something
like Cuernavaca's program in Spanish, where, he says, the students take classes
for several hours a day and live with families.

I told him he could ask the French and Canadian consulates in San Francisco,
but it occurs to me that my Department (Foreign Languages) would also like to
have this information, since it's of general interest.

Please reply directly to me. If I receive several replies I'll post them.


Thanks in advance for your help!
