As part of the APA’s continuing policy to prevent free riders, they’re not telling us the name of the room until we get to the registration desk. As part of our policy of combating evil we will of course broadcast the name of the room far and wide as soon as we learn it.

Happily, we have once again avoided any schedule conflict with the Ayn Rand Society (Dec. 28th, 11:15-1:45), and we expect to avoid conflict with the American Association for the Philosophic Study of Society also.
