EDITORIAL

If you're looking for controversy in this, the natal issue of the LASFS publication under a new policy and a new editor, you can look in vain.
I had a long and fancy editorial dreamed up. It was to be comprehensive and detailed and explanatory of many matters---and I haven't given up th e idea, except for th e moment. In the next issue, it gives fireworks, probably very.
On this first day of the new year, in the new magazine, we are going to be as amiable as a shaggy dog. We are going to stand or fall on the plain merits of the mag, without controversy to lend any interest of a special nature.
Except for a few slips, Charles Burbee was a good editor. He put out a nice magazine which was well-liked and well-supported. (We'll let that be that, for a while.)
This issue and succeeding issues will be put together by the combined efforts of the entire membership, using the now time-honored production methods of the one-shot project. A fairly regular bi-monthly appearance is planned.
The old "Shangri-LA" saw three issues, the last one appearing soon after the turn of the decade. In going back to the old title, we feel like we're starting afresh. The title replaces "Shangri-L'Affaires," of course.
If you like us, comment. If you don't like us, comment. We want letters.
Here's the mag. Take over.
