Boskone 33 Program as of 11 February 1996
This is still a preliminary program, though it's considerably more
accurate than our first posting. As always, we can't promise that
any of these items will actually happen or that the people listed
will actually be at the con or on the particular program item.
Check your Pocket program for an even more accurate schedule.
(On the other hand, now that we've made our excuses in advance,
we can say that we think this schedule will be pretty close....)
We'll probably post one more update on Wednesday, 14 February.
