The St. Louis Cardinals lackluster season came to a smashing close
yesterday behind the big bat of Mark McGwire. Now we must wait seven months
for the next home game. Sigh.  The good news for MCN '97 conference (Oct
15-18, St. Louis, MO) attendees is that they will not have to compete with
all those World Series fans who will be elsewhere for the October classic!

Friday's registration report held the following registration numbers for
pre-conference workshops (Oct. 15). Most workshops are half day, with
either morning or afternoon indicated in parens following the title:

SGML in the Real World  (a.m.)  16
Making your Site Interactive (a.m.)       5
Making Museum Information Accessible (a.m.)     2
