Dear Friends,

I wanted to point out to those who may not have noticed it that there's a
nice little article on John Briggs in the May 23 issue of Inside UCR. The
article concerns John's co-direction of a three-week NEH seminar on Samuel
Johnson, Abraham Lincoln, and Winston Churchill at Boston University in
July. The seminar will focus on the ability of the three men to write
persuasively while under pressure. John will lead the discussions of
Lincoln, while Bruce Redford will lead on Johnson, and Paul Alkon will lead
on Churchill.

I wish a very good summer to John and to all.

My best,

Steve
