This contribution to the proceedings of the 1999 Canadian Conference on General Relativity and Relativistic Astrophysics is a brief exposition of earlier work, with Sumati Surya (hep-th/9805121) Amanda Peet (hep-th/9903213), addressing certain results in higher dimensional supergravity that are related to black hole no-hair theorems. Its purpose is to describe, in language appropriate for an audience of relativists, how these results can be related to the Maldacena conjecture (aka, the AdS/CFT correspondence). The end product may be taken as a new kind of quantitative evidence in support of the Maldacena conjecture. ©1999 American Institute of Physics.
