Woody Allen's Manhattan Murder Mys tery, which was only shown at 268 loca tions, took in $2 million for a whopping $7,520 per location. That was nearly the same as the $7,600 per location for The Fugitive, based on the old TV series. The new children's film The Secret Garden was a distant third with $4.3 million, fol lowed by Rising Sun in fourth place with $4 million. Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park placed fifth with a $3.8 million take, boosting its North American take to $306 million and its worldwide gross past $5OO million.

Major topic areas: Survey of the printed literature: databases, journals, books. Strategic issues and problems in publishing. Tactical choice of publication opportunities. Deciding what you know, how to organize it, what to say about it. Strategies, nuts and bolts of preparing a written or oral paper. Semitechnical and popular writing: style, places to publish, goals, audiences. Designing and ensuring an effective oral presentation. Talks vs. posters. Structure: Class time will be spent in lecture/discussion, evaluation, and communicating. Students will write scientific and semitechnical papers and summaries, and will prepare oral presentations. "Field trips" will be required to the library, Photo/Graphic Services, and weekly colloquia in several departments (to evaluate speakers). We will assist with entomology's "Insect Fair" public education program in October. Prerequisites: Open to senior undergraduates and graduate students majoring in a biological science.
