In 1968 Drs. B. E. C. Nordin and A. Hodgkinson organized the First International Symposium on Urolithiasis Research in Leeds, England. One hundred and five participants from continental Europe, Great Britain, and the United States met to review their work and exchange ideas regarding the formation of urinary calculi. This meeting achieved several important goals. It pulled together a nidus of workers in the many scientific disciplines that relate to urolithiasis. This nidus served as the seed for research growth in a complex, interdisciplinary field. It established a forum for con tinuing communication in urolithiasis research with subsequent sym posia being held every 4 years. The Williamsburg Symposium was the fourth in the Leeds-Madrid Davos series involving 186 participants from throughout the world. A stated emphasis was on clinical research under way in the field. There were no invited speakers and for the first time the 41 papers that were presented orally at the meeting were selected from 184 submitted abstracts. A total of 134 papers were presented in the poster sessions in the afternoons where informal exchange between interested participants and investigators could occur without the restrictions of a plenary session. Virtually all areas of urolithi asis research from the most fundamental physical chemistry to clinical patterns of disease and specific modes of treatment were presented, reviewed and discussed during the meeting.

On March 15, 1994, William G. Robertson suffered a massive stroke. He was transported to a regional medical center and lapsed into unconsciousness. Doctors told gathering family he might not make it through the night. But William survived. Today, he lives a full and rewarding life. The stroke robbed him of his career, a long-term relationship and the ability to drive or participate in hobbies he enjoyed. Yet, he believes the event left him a better man. Shadowboxing is an informative and entertaining view of his battle back to the light.

<p>With In Contact! Case Studies from the Long War, Volume I, the his¬torians of the Combat Studies Institute (CSI) have produced a historical anthology to support Army schools, to promote general professional devel¬opment in the field, and to inform the American people about the missions performed by their Army in this "long war." These case studies include both lethal and nonlethal missions per¬formed by Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. The events chronicled herein span the spectrum of participants from officers to noncommissioned offi¬cers and from combat units to support personnel, all in contact with a vicious and unforgiving enemy. CSI's authors made use of a variety of unclassified material and were able to contact and interview many of the key participants in each of these events. Each case study provides valuable insights for Soldiers and military professionals. In Contact! builds on the methods used in the widely distrib¬uted and renowned Infantry in Battle and Seven Firefights in Vietnam. As the Introduction explains, the format allows the case studies to be read as traditional narratives-following each case study from its initial situa¬tion, to its dilemma, through to its resolution. They can also be used in the Army school system as a teaching tool by having students read through the dilemma, then fostering student discussion and analysis of options before moving on to the actual historical conclusion. As the long war continues around the world, the insights gained from this book will better prepare the Soldiers of the US Army for tomorrow's endeavors.</p>
