This Issue

Among this month's contributions is a grand wrap-up by Lottie Fish-Bate on the Mismeasure of Mensa, a reminiscence by Paul Healy of Gilbert & Sullivan's operas, a follow-up to his earlier article about Jane Brewster by Gareth Penn, hemp for everyone from Ed Rehmus, a neat description of a clever word processor by George Towner, and another blast into the (literary) past by John Cumming.

The original printed issue for this month was a bit shorter than usual (20 pages versus 24), and the inside back cover, which in the past provided space to introduce the contributors, was used to complete a contribution. 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.

We're still trying to recollect why The Ecphorizer needed a Treasurer back then. There was no cooking of the books and the income from subscriptions pretty much matched the expenses of printing and mailing.
