[MNASIS-L] FW: [LLRX Update]for July 21, 2003

[Ann Treacy]

Check out the second article - it's written by Minnesota's own Nina
Platt! 

The article is great - also I was impressed to know anyone who had an
article in this newsletter. It's one of my favorite newsletters even
though I don't have a tie to law or lawyers.         Ann
