Dear Michael and pen-lers, I like the idea of setting up a parallel list to receive information requests. For me, PEN-L is often at its best when participants focus on taking political action. Hopefully the parallel list will be a means to continue this tradition. Steven Zahniser [EMAIL PROTECTED] P.S. This summer I successfully defended my dissertation, turned it in, and received my Ph.D. in economics. I am now beginning a one-year postdoctoral fellowship funded by the Social Science Research Council, in which I will look at various issues regarding Mexico-U.S. migration.
