[OPE-L] The Rosa Luxemburg and the Critique of Political Economy Conference

Rakesh,

This comment puzzled me.  Knowing many of the participants,
it would surprise me if  "sparks flew" (maybe, "wine flowed" but
that's another matter).   Then, it came to me: the "sparks flew"
comment was a play on words of the title of the conference:

A better and more accurate play on words, I suspect, might have been:
"Like a candle burning at both ends, the 'Rosa Luxemburg and the
critique of political economy' conference ended all too quickly."

In solidarity, Jerry
