Editor's Note

This is my first issue as Editor and I want to thank my predecessor, Stratos Constantinidis, for handing over the Journal in very good shape. He did an excellent job during his tenure as Editor and put in place various procedures that have helped me immensely. He did much of the editing of the articles that appear in this issue and provided me with a great deal of copy for future issues. I also want to thank Tom Gallant, the Book Review Editor; the two Associate Editors, Martha Klironomos and David Sutton; as well as the members of the Editorial Board. All of them have assisted in the transition and made my task that much easier. Please keep the manuscripts coming.
