Just received an e-mail from Henry. He said that he didn't
receive last Sunday's Tabloid Headlines, and I then realized
that I didn't either. Has it been delayed this week?
We're sorry that you (not only Henry and Fred, but the rest of our
eager readers as well) did not get your Tabloid Headlines last week.
The editor's broken hip the last Saturday of last year did not prevent

With a relentless and tireless (if not entirely selfless) effort by our
staff, we are up and running again. Not all our regular subscribers
are getting this issue, as we lost our latest mailing list. If you know
anyone we've missed, please send us his or her address. Thanks
And a special thanks to Carole Otis and Edwin Kagin, who provi-
ded not only some lost addresses but also a bunch of archives.
