RHIC News in Brookhaven Bulletin

The June 13, 2008 edition of the Brookhaven Bulletin was devoted to stories about RHIC. The RHIC/AGS Users Meeting and the RIKEN/BNL Research Center workshop on spectral functions were reported, and the announcement that both the STAR and PHENIX "white papers" achieved "renowned" status in SPIRES was reported. The issue can be seen here.
