Second (and thinking ahead to next year’s ALA conference in San Francisco in
late May 2014), I am asking anyone who wishes to organize a panel on any
topic pertaining to the work and life of EP to let me know. We have the
option of offering two sessions at next year’s ALA.
And third, it would be nice if one of you organized a panel on EP’s
“treatment of warfare and its consequence. Please see the following call for
papers.

O’Brien, and others). Proposals for panels and roundtable discussions are
