Editorial

This newsletter is horribly late, you have only the editor to blame. We celebrate the World Year of Physics with our Topical Group in stronger shape than ever. We have 729 members, up from 654 last year and 591 the year before. This makes us the second largest topical group. We constitute 1.68% of the APS membership. To put this in perspective, the smallest division has 1,144 members.

The next newsletter is due September 1st. All issues are available in the WWW:
http://www.phys.lsu.edu/mog
The newsletter is available for Palm Pilots, Palm PC's and web-enabled cell phones as an Avantgo channel. Check out http://www.avantgo.com under technology$\rightarrow$science. A hardcopy of the newsletter is distributed free of charge to the members of the APS Topical Group on Gravitation upon request (the default distribution form is via the web) to the secretary of the Topical Group. It is considered a lack of etiquette to ask me to mail you hard copies of the newsletter unless you have exhausted all your resources to get your copy otherwise.

If you think a topic should be covered by the newsletter you are strongly encouraged to contact the relevant correspondent. If you have comments/questions/complaints about the newsletter email me. Have fun. Jorge Pullin
