NOTE TO OUR READERS: Technical difficulties last week caused distribution of Issue #76 of The Week Online to be delayed for 24 hours and then to go out twice. We've also had one report of the issue not showing up in a subscriber's mailbox. We've found a partial workaround to minimize such difficulties in the future, but there will never be a perfect solution on the Internet. Please note that the current issue of The Week Online is always available on our web site at http://www.drcnet.org/wol/ -- if for some reason it doesn't show up in your mailbox, chances are you will be able to find it there from Friday morning. Please accept our apologies for last week's inconvenience.

DRCNet's Associate Director, Adam J. Smith, is out with the flu, and won't be providing an editorial this week. We expect Adam and his editorials to be back next week, though, so stay tuned! If you're going into editorial withdrawal, check out some of the back issues on our WOL archives page, http://www.drcnet.org/wol/archives.html.
