April 2012 Editorial: The Future's Not Ours to See

    First the announcements: We are close to an arrangement to publish electronically, in multiple formats (PDF, epub, and possibly others). We will have more details on that front to announce next month. And: unless we have a stoke of luck, the next issue, May, is going to be late. We cannot find an agreeable time in the first half of April to meet and produce an issue. If we had had sufficient inventory, we would have doubled up issues this March weekend (we’ve done that many times), but our stock of reviews and essays is low right now. So send ’em if you’ve got ’em!
