Editor's Note:
. As readers have certainly noticed, there was no Spring issue of Struggle. Personal obligations,
coming on top of my job, exhausted me and I apologize for the delay. Subscriptions will be
adjusted accordingly. And to the many writers who are still waiting for their material to see the
light of day, please have patience. This brings us to the most urgent business of the moment: as
the stamp on your envelope declares, Struggle magazine is "still very endangered". Even though
a generous flow of contributions arrived after my desperate financial appeal two issues back, the
basic problem remains. After this issue that nest egg will mostly be gone, and our subscriber base
only supports about half the cost of continuing the magazine. At the moment I see no solution to
this problem. Despite my appeals the subscriber base does not significantly grow. I can't keep
relying on contributions, wonderful as they have been. So I will just continue the magazine as
best I can. If you can help, please do. I may be forced to convert it into a website magazine on the
Internet. This would eliminate printing and most mailing costs, thus apparently solving the
financial problem, but very possibly at the cost of losing contact with most of the subscriber/
writer/prisoner/magazine-exchange base I have built up carefully over 15 years of publication. A
very troubling alternative. Your input on these matters would be very welcome . . . .
