From the Editor's Desk
Another day at Arthur H.Q. Squintin' Paul Cullum, after a marathon copy editing session in the trailer out back, has returned to Hollywood. Nelson is catching waves in Pedro, pondering what a dirty bomb smells like. Kreslins is the steady voice on the phone, Fraser's on the other line and could he call me back, McKenna is on scholarly retreat in Manhattan and Mortensen's jetlagged.
This morning as I surveyed this first issue of Arthur, which stretches from Sri Lanka to the Blue Ridge Mountains to the center of Daniel Pinchbeck's mind, I could for the first time truly appreciate the global reach of our proud, if somewhat impoverished, enterprise. What's special about this organization, though, isn't its global reach so much as the way that reach was achieved - through goodwill rather than commerce, through a common passion rather than shared greed. Arthur is a collective labor of love, and (I hope, I think, I know) it shows. Let us know what you think.
