Int'l Congress of Slavists

[Michael K. Launer]

Regarding Intl Cong of Slavists.... It would be nice, for a change, if
participants were selected in some sort of blind refereeing process, as
opposed to the traditional practice of making sure friends of the
organizing committee members all managed to have an excuse for a get
together somewhere in Europe. Nothing personal, of course. It's just about
time we became more professional about all of this.
