Hi Class...I am headed to NYC tomorrow for my daughter's engagement party, but do email me if you have any questions about this week's "assignment" and I'll try to reply. I'm having a great time with the class and I hope you all are also. I'm pasting in below all of the sources we discussed last class. If there's something else I promised to do, please remind me- it's been a hectic week for me. See you all next Monday!
