I think this series of short article will bring so many issue that have not been elaborated in academic discourse. I wanted to know whether a person could contribute a short article once to this series or he/she could write something else?

Thank you.

Thank you for your brief, but worthy, contribution even before the series has started – the first excerpt will be published on Wednesday, April 7, 2010.

I hope you will be able to provide a brief narrative (upto 600 words) about the fabled meeting that took place, and outline the path that each of the three pursued for the rest of their lives.
