How long are you in the city? Any chance of seeing you?
Only till Saturday. Are you in NY ? Charles
I am indeed. I work here and live here much, though not all, of the time. 212-501-3063 gets straight to my desk. Email is good, too: gaskell@bgc.bard.edu. I’m off to a symposium on Saturday, but around (at the Bard Graduate Center: 38 W. 86th St) Friday most of the time.
I have emailed in the hope we can meet up. Charles
