New Issue of CANE Newsletter

Ed DeHoratius posted this on the Latinteach list:

Just wanted to let you know that the new issue of CANE’s newsletter is
available via download from the CANE website (which, if you haven’t seen it
yet, has been beautifully redesigned by Roger Travis of UConn:
http://www.caneweb.org). There is a very amusing article on a classicist
running the Athens marathon on the 2500th anniversary of the battle as well
as an innovative (and successful) JCL fundraiser, among others. Enjoy.

Here’s a direct link to the pdf version of the newsletter
