Attention Readers: We need your input!
Last week we introduced a new format for our articles, where the first few lines of each piece were included with links leading to the remainder of the article. This new format has been questioned by some readers, who are asking that it be reconsidered. For this issue, we are continuing with this approach. However, our team is exploring different formats to ensure that the Bulletin is accessible and readable to our subscribers. We value all of our readers and greatly appreciate your feedback. Please share comments by sending them via email to Janet Weinstein, Editorial Director, at [email protected].
