Editorial Issue #37	John Cumming

This Issue

Paul Healy takes time out from his recounting of events at Worldview to provide insight into some Greek deities, Gareth Penn continues his record-breaking pace with Part II of interesting things at Goose Pond, and Katharine Mitchell sends her last letter from Suriname as she will be posted elsewhere.

Bill Harvey, Susan Packie and Myra Johnson link up with Andy Fish's cousin Lotte for some humorous sketches. And this issue is loaded with poetry, some of it the erotic kind with authors too numerous to mention.

Note: The Editor at the time, against the advice of the staff at the time, decided to add an Editorial in the space where short contributors' biographies were printed. It is for this reason that the little "About" sidebars in this online version are empty. We hope that these bios will return in the near future.

This Issue's Staff:

Editor:	John Cumming
Assistants:	John Galt, Myra Johnson, Sue O'Brien, Burt Schmitz, George Towner, Laurie Yadon
Business:	Tod Wicks

JoAnn Malina, long one of The Ecphorizer's gritty assistants, departs the crew this month to take on the editorship of the San Francisco Mensa monthly newsletter, the Intelligencer. Thanks for all your help, JoAnn!
