Assignment for Friday, 5/1

Here's the announcement you've all been waiting for: there will be NO class on Friday, April 24. I'm planning on having a baby instead.

This means that your next summary is not due until Friday, May 1. I'm adding an additional article option as well. So for next time, read the following THREE articles from the UP Reader:

• "Urban Sacrifice," by Buzz Bissinger
• "Regionalisms Old and New," by Dreier, Mollenkopf, and Swanstrom
• "The American City in the Age of Terror," by Eisenger

You can summarize ONE of these (and many of you really should). However, please note that because of this interruption in our schedule, I am going to REDUCE the number of required summaries by one - to a total of FIVE. (Any of you who have ALREADY submitted six will get some extra credit for it, but only if I already have the 6th in my possession; otherwise 5 is the limit.)

If all goes well, I should be on campus next week, so you can come by with questions, or drop me a note through e-mail. Otherwise, see you May 1.
