Published once each semester by Manhattan College (New York), the report serves as a resource for faculty and students as they deal with professional ethical dilemmas and conflicts in their course work and work lives; it also helps to further the Center for Professional Ethics' basic purpose of promoting greater sensitivity to the ethical dimensions of professional life within society. The lead article in this issue, "Bishops' Pastoral: A Challenge to the American Conscience," by Marion Hunt, reviews the U.S. Catholic bishops' pastoral letter on economics and notes the Center's intention to provide opportunities for extended comments and reflection on the bishops' message. One such opportunity, a workshop in response to the pastoral, is announced in another part of the newsletter. Also in this issue are a detailed follow-up article by John R. Wilcox on a case study of an ethical dilemma published in the newsletter's first issue; an account of a Center-hosted computer ethics workshop; and a discussion of the classroom climate with regard to continuing disparities between male and female students.
