* can someone please explain the "faux titre" joke? I mean, I guess "De l'etre en lettres" is a false title since the real title is "De l'etre en lettres: l'autobiographie epistolaire de George Sand, but there's a joke there, right? I don't get it. Also, someone please explain how to use diacritical marks with Blogger.

SPEL GSO Works in Progress
The first installment of the the SPEL GSO's Works in Progress series has been scheduled for Wednesday March 20th from 11:45-1:00 PM in LN-1404.
The speakers will be Aaron Bell and Rochelle DuFord. Each speaker will be given an roughly 35 minutes--to be split into roughly 20 minutes of presentation, and 15 minutes of question and answer/discussion of the project.
Aristotle and regime change
not sure what the one has to do with the other.
story here:
In the late 1990s, in the thick of the Asian financial crisis, a top Japanese Finance Ministry official turned to his protégé and found him engrossed not in policy documents, but in a chunky volume of the works of Aristotle.
That bookish aide, Haruhiko Kuroda, was approved on Friday to become the next Bank of Japan governor, one of the most thankless jobs in a country plagued for decades with economic problems. He will need more than Aristotelian logic to turn years of the central bank’s policies on their head.
Mr. Kuroda, 68, is tasked with bringing about a regime change at the bank, something he himself, a critic of the bank, has previously called for.
