George Butterstein, Florence B. Sherwood Professor of Life Sciences, presented two papers at the Society for the Study of Reproduction meeting in August at Texas A&M. They were "Serum leptin changes throughout rat pregnancy" by Butterstein, J.A Angerosa.'98, J.S. Kuehn '98 and V.D. Castracane; and "Effect of exogenous DHEA and DHEA Sulfate on the endocrinology of the pregnant rat" by Castracane, J. Sachar '97 and Butterstein. DHEA is an androgenic steroid that has received national attention because it can be purchased over the counter. Castracane is at Texas Tech, Amarillo.

Brenda Wineapple, Washington Irving Professor of Modern Literary and Historical Studies, published an essay, "The Conjuror's Hat: Poetry and Biography," in the spring issue of the journal PARNASSUS. Wineapple juxtaposes the autobiographical poetry of modernist writer Mina Loy with the recent Loy biography, which, conversely, interprets Loy's poetry in terms of events, real and imagined, in Loy's life. Last spring, Wineapple was the keynote speaker at the Washington, D.C., conference jointly sponsored by the New York Council for the Humanities and the American Library Association that launched the ALA's new program for community libraries, "Lives Worth Knowing." This program will bring the discussion of biography to libraries nationwide. During the conference, Wineapple also assisted the more than 100 scholars and library personnel attending by giving a discussion-demonstration of a typical "Lives Worth Knowing" program. Wineapple has been involved in the program since its inception at the New York Council for the Humanities in 1992, and she has lectured on biography, under its auspices, throughout New York State.
