I forgot to mention an important formatting change we have made. As of today we will be using a single line as a border at the top of each page - where you see the date stamp - instead of a double line. We calculate that the ink thus saved will be enough to finance the construction of an escort aircraft carrier if the war lasts another seventy years. In that event we hereby pledge to make a donation for that purpose and request that the vessel be christened “The Old Gray Lady.”
