.& os: From The Editor I don't know what to say. It’s been a good run but all good things must come to an end. It is time for me to really pay attention to my studies and start writing seriously. You know, make a career for myself and stuff. Of course they begged me to say and right now you are saying to yourself, “It can’t be true,” and I am flattered, really. But I am 28 this year and I have long given up waiting to marry rich and have just now figured out that I need to make my own destiny. How depressing! No, but really, I just wanted to step aside and give someone else a go at the dictatorship. I loved every minute of it: The ups, the downs, and the unexpected. I really did learn a lot of valu- able lessons, some of which I will have to look back at later to really get but still, it’s a process. I am ready to be hurled out into the real world. I leave you in the capable hands of Amanda Aikman, previously known as the witty Culture Editor. I trust she will not lead you astray and will fight hard to entertain, amuse, and educate you in each and every issue. My eyes are getting a little misty here so I really must run. | will miss you, dear readers, more than you know.
