Information About Sweden and Stockholm

This is the result of my (Mike Miller) web surfing for information that could be useful to those who will be visiting Sweden for the Behavior Genetics Association meeting in Stockholm, 8-10 June 1997. I think I've succeeded in finding the higher quality pages, and I've limited the collection to English-language sources. Be sure to read Local Host Nancy Pedersen's instructions and any other information given here.
