In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

From the Editors We at the RMMLA Secretariat are all still getting along, in many respects like civilized human beings. Even with Rachel. Nevertheless, for this issue, we each have individual, uh, issues. One of the editors was seen recently sitting in her office, sipping something and looking wistfully at her bowling trophies. (Rachel.) Clearly she does not have enough to do. Michael therefore requests that more RMMLA members make a commitment to send in an article oftheirs for consideration. He suspects diat, for example, Salt Lake conference papers, after revision, might be sent to her. (It really is an outrage.) Rachel herself is anxious that we see a few more articles for die coming thematic issue: The Use ofMemory in Literature: (Auto)Biographical and Neo-Historical Approaches. She commands that you send diese in immediately. (We suggest you do so. Please.) And ifyesterday is too soon to generate such a piece, realize that we will soon be seeking articles for a later thematic issue: Anachronisms and Neologisms in Language and Literature: The Creation ofNew Wor(l)ds. Ana Maria has gone into a mania for translation pieces. Since this seems healthier than her prior eccentricity regarding male exotic dancers, we support her in the hope that you will consider submitting English translations ofshort stories and essays, once you attain permission from the copyright owners ofthe original pieces. Joan said something we didn't catch about Aplets, Cotlets, and the eMillennium. She's got that look in her eye that promises revolution. It may not be televised, but it will probably be downloadable. Keep an eye and a bookmark on the RMMLA web site (http://rmmla.wsu.edu/rmmla). However well-oiled the machinery ofthe Rocky Mountain MLA, it has nevertheless ground a few ofus into detritus, and so we have bid a fond "please forgive us" to Bryce Campbell, former Managing Editor, and Paula Sato, formerAdministrative Assistant, bodi of whom have opted for pastures greener and less allergenic dian those of the inland northwest. Happily for us, in this profession two more are born every minute. The hyperspondaical Elaine M. Clark Hall has taken over the Administrative Assistant and Web Manager responsibilities. Say hi, Elaine. Working for RMMLA has lengthened my reading list to unmanageable proportions ! On the positive side, it has piqued my interest in the exchanging of literary ideas. Thanks! continued on page 8 FALL 1998 * ROCKY MOUNTAIN REVIEW + 7 She's so nice. But here's what she really said to me: Leave me alone. I just lost a stack of registrations. The Managing Editor position was forfeited in a pool game to Doryjane Birrer, Ph.D. Candidate in Masochism. Say hi to the nice people, Doryjane. This sure is a change from professional bellydancing! (It is not, you crazy kid!) She's so zany! But she found that stack of registrations. So, without much more than a few additional pages offurther ado, adieu.
