Well, yes it is! JSL has been at the printers for several weeks now, and
we expect it back, well, any *hour* now!
     I apologize for how late it is. There are two main reasons: first,
we had trouble getting enough material. That is, we have quite a bit of
material, but almost all of it is SHORT, and let me tell you, it is
really hard to fill up an issue with papers from 3-10 pages! The issue
runs a little over 180 pages, and has 19 separate pieces. Anxious
subscribers (and IULC and I have heard from quite a few of you, thanks!)
can be reassured, however, that we should get back on track with the
spring issue, which is 2/3 full already (two papers of nearly 50 pages
apiece!).
     Second, we had a number of technical problems that I was fed up
with, and resolved to resolve once and for all. This would in itself
justify a delay... except that I failed on just about all counts! These
pertain primarily to the treatment of diacritics, and I won't bore you
with the details.
