Kirk, and other list members, the public answer is "yes," certainly! JLM
would be pleased to accept articles on this topic other times.
In terms of the deadline for the below special issue, I would be pleased
to communicate with anyone on this.
We do have a tight deadline, so please contact me with specifics, but
there is a wee bit of wiggle room. All submissions must bee peer
reviewed, and that's the big time factor in terms of attaining quality.
thanks very much, jane
