As a person who wants to find a "permanent" position in such an area (so I can have a garden; ride my bike; have a dog; etc.), I am often less than enthusiastic about applying for positions in urban areas. Is it because the jobs that I am interested in tend to attract the type that stay in one place for a long time and the institutions are not particularly interested in expanding their departments? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Lisa Auanger, Ph.D. Columbia, Missouri 65201 .................................................
