Fw: from the American Economics Association

[Barkley Rosser <rosserjb@xxxxxxx>]

Title: To: AEA Members

      Guess what I heard about Shleifer being appointed JEL editor

was a false rumor.  Now that this appears to be the case, I don't

remember where I heard it, unless of course, this is just a ruse

and he is the shoo-in, already selected.
