Well, nothing, really. The fact is, more than a year ago our issue dates and our actual production schedule Raindrops..................................... 4 Rush............................ 37 Touch and Go................................. 19 ! Nuclear Free Zones............... 23 Peace Communications.............. 8 Regional Literature........................18 got slightly out of sync. This one-time date shift is merely a painless method to move us officially back into "real time." We're not skipping an issue, our volume and issue numbers continue in unbroken sequence, and the length of your subscription remains unchanged. —JF Note to Librarians (and Other Date-Conscious RAIN Readers)
