\centerline{\bf Ten Years of \TeX\ and \MFb}
\medskip\noindent                         
   The 1989 \TeX\ Users Group Meeting, to be held at Stanford University
   on August 21--23, marks the tenth annual meeting
   of  TUG. The  theme of  this   meeting  is ``Ten  Years of
   \TeX\ and  \MF''.   Our  concern is
   no longer   how  to get \TeX\  to work,  but is now  focused on
   how \TeX\ should co-exist  with other applications such as report
   generation and office automation.
        The keynote  speaker for this  year's meeting  will be Don
   Knuth.   He will  present his  paper about the  history of \TeX,
   entitled ``The Errors of \TeX''.  The 3-day annual meeting
   in  August will  be  conducted  as the  highlight  of  a 2-week
   conference  during which  courses will  be  offered in  \TeX\ and
   \TeX-related subjects.\looseness=-1
