Welcome back to the new academic year! I hope that the summer was occupied
with everything that you find most fulfilling, and that the coming year will
contain more of the same.
CSA Business
It has been proposed that CSA consider becoming an affiliate of the Renaissance Society of America. Such status would allow CSA to sponsor sessions at the RSA annual meetings every year, and would grant the organization a seat on the governing board. A possible further step would involve creating a joint membership in CSA-RSA, with a special membership price. The proposal will be discussed at the CSA business meeting at the 2001 MLA Convention in New Orleans. CSA members seeking more information about RSA may check their web site: www.r-sa.org.

Speakers at the regular CSA session: Patricia Grieve (Columbia University), True Lies: The Hagiographic Narrative Tradition in Don Quijote; Bruce E.

Cervantes in the News
Our tireless correspondent Karl-Ludwig Selig informs us of the death on June 16 of Joe Darion, the lyricist for the musical comedy Man of La Mancha, which opened in 1965 and became the third-longest-running Broadway musical of the 1960's, according to the New York Times.
In Memoriam
Mr. George M. Aschenbach, son of CSA member Clara Chaconas Aschenbach, has notified us of his mother's death. Her friends and colleagues in the CSA mourn her passing.
