A new shade-grown synergy, as reported by Russ Rymer: plantations of slow-growing Caesalpinia echinata, an endangered Brazilian rain-forest tree known as pau-brasil or pernambuco, and source of wood for musical instrument bows, are planned as shade for cacao trees.

I'm looking for information about Bloomsday readings of James Joyce's Ulysses in the Washington, D.C. area in the temporal neighborhood of 16 June 2004. Kelly's Irish Times downtown used to host readings, but I suspect no more. The unpleasantness raised by the Joyce estate may have quashed plans around here. If, by any chance, you know of anything happening, please let me know by e-mail.
