You have possibly been a little startled by the appearance of this issue of the Journal. The leading article is not at the front, where it "ought" to be; somebody has dipped the middle pages in blue ink; and what about this page-is it an advertisement, or what? In fact, in 1978 the Journal will be different in a number of ways. It will appear not weekly, but fortnightly, not folded inside a wrapper, but flat inside an envelope. It will have a middle section (the pages edged with blue) containing those features to which most people turn their attention first-the leading article, comments, correspondence, didactic material, obituaries and special features. This section can be easily detached from the rest of the Journal if you care to file any of the special features for future reference. The front and back pages of the Journal will contain the purely scientific matter-the original contributions to medical knowledge by Australian workers, for whose publication this Journal has been a major vehicle since 1914 -as well as more peripheral articles, book reviews, and so on. Should your Journal reading time be limited to a few frantic moments over coffee between surgery and calls, perhaps you will begin with "Here and Now", which gives at a glance the highlights of the current issue. This will help you to decide which article to read in tomorrow's coffee break, and which the next day, and so on, till the fortnight comes round again.
