Subject: Derrida and Hussein

Upon reading in the New York Times that vendors at the Tel Aviv
farmers' market are spicing their calls with the phrase
"May Saddam's name be erased," I would like to ask all the
Deconstructionists out there whether this means that Saddam
Hussein is -- technically -- "under erasure'???????

Subject: Research Centre Network

I am presently working towards the creation of a Bitnet network of
research centres which are connected with, or related to Religious
Studies Departments. The network would facilitate the exchange of
information, newsletters, cooperation between related research projects,
and the archiving of related databases. To begin establishing this
network I need to get in touch with any HUMANISTs who work within
Religious Studies research centres and might be interested in such a
network. If your research centre or research group or project is
currently online with Bitnet or interested in getting online, please let
me know.

Subject: Kinkos Courseware Exchange

I've heard rumors that there is something called Kinks Courseware
Exchange where you can get Mac tutorials on general interest subjects
(like physics, maths, languages).

Does anybody have the address (post or electronic) ?

thanks

Subject: language lab Macs

A colleague requests that I forward the following query.

We are hoping to develop a new language lab using Macintoshes --
including digitized versions of traditional language lab tape exercises.
Others (including HUMANIST readers?) are known to be exploring this
route -- perhaps some collective wisdom will emerge here. First
question: how much disk space does a 30-minute "sound bite" (i.e., the
digitized version of an audio tape, stored on a hard disk) consume?
Second question: does there exist a good font package for the Mac that
includes the International Phonetic characters?

Responses may be addressed either to HUMANIST or to me directly.

Thanks in advance,
