Dear Tom,
I notice from your post of last week that the title of my
contribution to the PEWS roundtable is still wrong. I wrote Roberto
Korzeniewicz about this a couple of weeks ago. The correct title is
"Anti-Systemic Movements, Real and Imaginary, in Historical Perspective."
See my e-mail reply to Charles McKelvey's invitation below.
Regards,
Warren
