Algols Proceedings of the 107th Colloquium of the International Astronomical Union held in Sidney, B.C., Canada, August 15–19, 1988

When leaving the Victoria airport the day before our Colloquium, I saw a van of the Dunsmuir Lodge marked with big letters which I read as "Alcohol Colloquium". I do often make such blunders because of the global, casual, and careless way in which I read various ads, and checked myself qui...
