Pieces without an author’s name are by the editor

Thanks to Bill Clark, Bob Ardler and Chris West for money or offers of money. Happily, thanks to the sales of the CD-Rom, Lobster is self-financing. There are many other little magazines (and, indeed, Web sites) which are not in this fortunate position and would-be philanthropists might consider looking elsewhere.
Thanks for information to Peter Watson, Jane Affleck, Richard Alexander, Robert Henderson, Tom Easton, Chris Tame, Robin Whittaker, Rom and Tony Frewin.
Several of the pieces in this issue are about Iraq. I didn’t suggest to those who write for Lobster that they do this, it just happened; though it isn’t surprising: it is the biggest item on the agenda at the moment. I have placed these pieces together at the front of the magazine.
The American-English/British-English issue arose again with the copy by Americans in this issue. This time I decided to follow the suggestions of the spellchecker and have anglicised some of the American texts. (90% of Lobster’s readers are in the UK.) But only some: I haven’t anglicised quotations, for example. In practice it is very difficult to be consistent with this.
