In our review of David Morris’s Self-Reliant Cities, we omitted the basic access information. The book was published by Sierra Club Books, 530 Bush Street, San Francisco, CA 94108, 1982, 256 pages, $19.95 cloth, $8.96 paper. Is There a Pothole in Your Future? In the article in the Feb/March RAIN, "Is There a Pothole in Your future?’’, we inadvertently credited a list of municipal services being carried by neighborhood groups to the National Association of Neighborhoods. The list was actually derived from Milton Kotl- er’s "Community Service Partnerships”. Milton Kotler also pointed out that it was not clear that the Center for Responsive Governance is providing technical assistance and conducting research on the subject. They may be reached at 1100 17th St., N.W., Ste. 313, Washington, D.C. 20036, 202/223- 2400. Extending the Rain Family We like to think of RAIN readers as a unique ^oup, a family of people with similar interests and perspectives. Without compromising oiu views, we also need to enlarge our family. We believe that the best source for new readers is our current family of subscribers. On page 38 we have provided a small form for you to give us names and addresses of your friends who might be interested in subscribing to RAIN. We will send them a complimentary copy. If you know of libraries, bookstores, food coops, etc. that might like to carry RAIN, let us know about them, too. Gracias.
