recognition of words during a fixation progress in a strictly serial order?”

George Butterstein, Florence B. Sherwood Professor
of Life Sciences, presented two papers at the Society for the Study of Reproduction
meeting in August at Texas A&M. They were “Serum leptin changes throughout rat
pregnancy” by Butterstein, J.A Angerosa.'98, J.S. Kuehn '98 and V.D.
Castracane; and “Effect of exogenous DHEA and DHEA Sulfate on the endocrinology of
the pregnant rat” by Castracane, J. Sachar '97 and Butterstein. DHEA is an
androgenic steroid that has received national attention because it can be purchased over
the counter. Castracane is at Texas Tech, Amarillo.
Brenda Wineapple, Washington Irving Professor of
Modern Literary and Historical Studies, published an essay, “The Conjuror's Hat:
Poetry and Biography,” in the spring issue of the journal PARNASSUS. Wineapple
juxtaposes the autobiographical poetry of modernist writer Mina Loy with the recent Loy
biography, which, conversely, interprets Loy's poetry in terms of events, real and
imagined, in Loy's life. Last spring, Wineapple was the keynote speaker at the
Washington, D.C., conference jointly sponsored by the New York Council for the Humanities
and the American Library Association that launched the ALA's new program for
community libraries, “Lives Worth Knowing.” This program will bring the
discussion of biography to libraries nationwide. During the conference, Wineapple also
assisted the more than 100 scholars and library personnel attending by giving a
discussion-demonstration of a typical “Lives Worth Knowing” program. Wineapple
has been involved in the program since its inception at the New York Council for the
Humanities in 1992, and she has lectured on biography, under its auspices, throughout New
York State.
