Subject: Ethics

I have to ask why is 'reverse discrimination' on the list, but not
'discrimination'? Is the former more heinous than the latter? Or
have we settled the issue of the ethics and morality of
'discrimination'?

Stewardship does not necessarily suggest dominion. Indeed, the notion
of stewardship suggests that what humans "possess" -- their abilities (or
talents), their material possessions, their earthly power -- is given or
loaned in trust. Talents must be developed, used properly, and not
considered as absolute property -- which some 17th-century English divines
called embezzlement. I have no texts at hand, but could find something if
requested... Kevin Berland, Penn State

Subject: string

I don't know if this usage antedates the programmer's "string," but the
phrase "word string" was used in linguistics in the '50s and '60s to
refer to a sequence of words without imposing a grammatical structure.

Subject: Surfaces

Jeff Schwartz enquired about the existence of Surfaces, the electronic
journal: yes, it does exist and the articles announced are indeed available
on the U of Montreal server -- but in Mac format only. The MS-DOS versions
are being readied (the process is very complex as all texts are formatted
so that they can be downloaded then printed with standard characteristics
across the various sytems used for retrieval). For detailed information,
mail to GUEDON@ere.umontreal.ca or SURFACES@ere.umontreal.ca
