For once, the ratings flowed in in a manner reminiscent of old times—thanks to my consistent bewailing. There is no rating sheet provided for your use in this issue, so I am not too hopeful about the results. I hope, though, that you will fool me and send in your story-preferences in volume. In the latter issue, the poem most liked was VIGIL, by Isabelle E. Dinwiddie, and second was Toby Duane's THE MAN-HEART.
In the next issue, you may definitely expect DeWeese's long story, which was promised for this issue. Circumstances intervened, however.
