Hoover Institution announces national fellows for 1992-93 academic year
STANFORD -- Twelve scholars have won the Hoover Institution's annual
postdoctoral National and Peace Fellowships for the 1992-93 academic year.
The fellowships provide scholars with an opportunity to spend one year at
the Hoover Institution to conduct independent research on historical and
public policy issues of the 20th century.

ongoing scholarship," Hoover Director John Raisian said.
