Please comment on the following abstract for a talk I will give at the
May APS meeting. The abstract has to be submitted by Jan 23.
I am assuming that Bill will give a talk before me describing the
detector, but I could be totally wrong about that.

A postscript version of the abstract is on my web page, but here is
the text:

Search for Disoriented Chiral Condensates at $\sqrt{s}=1.8$ TeV

Results from T-864, a collider experiment designed to search for
disoriented chiral condensates (DCC's) in the forward direction,
are presented. The MiniMax detector at the C0 collision region
of the Fermilab Tevatron is a telescope of 24 MWPC's with a slab
of converter in front of two-thirds of the MWPC's and an electromagnetic
calorimeter at the end; it has an acceptance centered on pseudorapidity
$\eta=4.1$ with a total cross section of approximately 35 mb.
Charged-particle and gamma $dN/d\eta$ distributions and correlations
are measured. The results of the search for the signature of a DCC
in the correlative patterns of the charged-particle-photon distributions
are presented.
