Editorial Notes and Comments - p. 2 
Whether the Newsletter in the future remains as parochial as it is now 
depends upon response. If other workers wish to join us in the dissemination 
of mutually interesting information, they are welcomed, The Editor does, 
however, reserve the right to reject contributions. Required will be a 
certain information level, some degree of concreteness, some amount of specifics, 
The Editor prefers to report results, even if tentative, rather than 
intentions, even if promising. Generalities and theory are not discouraged, 
but their empirical base should be specified or, at the least, it should be 
indicated where and how that base is to be sought. 
The Editor has in mind as the content of the Newsletter neither a 
travelogue nor a gossip sheet nor a list of theses topics, but a vehicle for 
exchange of information that in more expanded and documented form would be 
publishable somewhere in its own right. 
Controversy and contradiction are not avoidable; there are already hints 
of this in the present issue. The Editor does not plan a forum: only 
exceptional cases and only within the section "Editorial Notes and Comments" 
will disputes be accorded space and then only in terms of temperate comment 
and measured replies - both brief.
