From the Editor: We bring you an uncharacteristic issue this time; a few articles now, and a couple more later. Issue 3 is a little lighter as well, only six articles when all said and done. Spinning it faster, articles are mostly written by the Editor-in-Chief; making things balance against the checks. But don’t let that scare you off. Issue 3 is a solid issue. The Editor’s letter introduces some interesting ideas for the magazine that could involve you. We’ll have not one, but two Spotlight articles on a boy and a girl. Checks and balances.
