Summary of conferences at the French Institute The past several years have been filled with many abrupt and largely unforeseen transformations in French, European, and world history. Among the most dramatic of these changes were those occurring within the Eastern bloc countries; these changes necessitate the reinterpretation and redefinition of East-West relations and, more specifically, their implications for France and Europe.

In this edition of The Interview, Annette Yoshiko Reed(New York University) joins Bulletin editor RichardNewton for a conversation and discussion as part of the University of Alabama’s 18th annual Aronov Lecture. The Aronov Lecture invites an accomplished and internationally renowned research scholar in the field of religion to bring insights that can inform the larger work of the human sciences. Reed discusses her work on the tensions, rhetoric, and myths involved in the construction of Jewish and Christian identities in the late antique Mediterranean and beyond, as well as her current thinking about how we approach the past through remembering and forgetting. She shares with the audience engaging stories, thought-provoking scholarship, and practical advice on navigating academia and the development of research interests.

A REVIEW OF THE FALL 1987 COLLOQUIA SPONSORED BY NEW YORK UNIVERSITY’S INSTITUTE OF FRENCH STUDIES In the past twenty to thirty years, the conception of history in both France and America has changed considerably. The territory covered by the discipline has broadened to encompass elements of various social sciences, such as anthropology and sociology. In the Fall of 1987, four colloquia at New York University’s Institute of French Studies focused on various facets of French history and its study. Louis Bergeron and Jacques Revel both discussed some of the effects of the expansion of the concept of history on their discipline. Tony Judt examined the French Left in the context of European socialist thought after World War II, demonstrating how “historical” analysis is now being applied to periods as recent as 1945-1975. Finally, Charles Tilly described the writing of his latest book, The Contentious French, offering an example of current analytical methods in social history.

During the past 10 years, 157 patients have been operated on at the New York University-Bellevue Medical Center for acoustic neuromas and other cerebellopontine angle tumors. We describe our diagnostic protocol with joint neurosurgical evaluation leading to either translabyrinthine (otology only) or suboccipital-transmeatal (combined otology-neurosurgery) surgery. The decision is made on the basis of tumor size, level of hearing, age, and health of the patient. Using these criteria, 105 suboccipital and 59 translabyrinthine operations were performed with eight patients having had two-stage operations. In 12 of 29 patients, hearing was successfully preserved. Of 18 patients with good hearing and extracanalicular tumors less than 2 cm, hearing was preserved in 11. We describe the surgical technique used in this suboccipital-transmeatal operation and present illustrative cases in detail.
