Editor's Note

We take this opportunity to convey our gratitude and appreciation to two people who helped us start this journal. Ms. Samantha Ragsdale, our dedicated and talented first Editorial Assistant, has had to reluctantly relinquish her journal responsibilities as her career responsibilities have deepened and expanded. Although, we are indeed saddened to see her go, we thank her for her unflagging efforts through the first years.

We wish you both the very best and look forward to continued collaboration with each of you in different contexts.

We are delighted to welcome to our journal team, Ms. Rita Omark, who is our new Editorial Assistant and an old hand in the editing field. Ms. Omark has already brought her valuable experience and know-how to our work while she prepared this issue. Welcome, Rita!

He has been one our most creative contributors and has twice had his papers published in our journal. Richard Brockman is particularly well suited to this role. Besides publishing an important landmark book on mind/brain relationships, he has written several plays produced for appreciative audiences in New York City. We feel most privileged to be working with Richard—not only because he is such a clearly talented person, but he is also such a pleasure to collaborate with—always a responsive and cooperative member of our team. Our sincere welcome to you, Richard.

It is one of those uncannily serendipitous circumstances that Dr. Brenner's issue was scheduled for publication at this time, given the tragic evolution of recent
