We will meet this week at the usual place and time.
Place: IRCS Fishbowl
Time: 10:30am, Thursday, 03/14/2002
Benjamin Newman will be talking about a few semantic
issues he'd like cleared up before he proceeds further
with the implementation. He will also present the
mechanisms behind his implementation and the current
status.

"Bob had gone." "Bob will have gone."

before(e2,e0) after(e2,e0)
* determiners, as quantifiers?
