Editor’s Note from November 09, 1973

The paper shortage has caught up with us: part of this issue is on our usual paper stock, the rest on a different grade. Thankfully we do have paper of one kind or another to last till year’s end. We are praying that the Canadian papermill strike will end soon.

In these days of paper shortages and postal increases, a magazine that managed to strengthen its ties to a good typographer might be thought to have done well. We’ve done it—without even trying. On October 21 our able production coordinator, Jeanne Willett, was married to John Nichols, partner and general manager of Cooke Typographers, which sets all our type. We wish for them God’s blessing upon their life together.

This issue focuses on C. S. Lewis, who died ten years ago this month (November 22). Editor-at-large Calvin Linton surveys Lewis’s achievements as a literary scholar and Christian apologist. Joan Lloyd (a student of another of our editors-at-large, Tom Howard) deals with Lewis’s concept of sexuality. And the lead editorial draws attention to his novels (renewing my intention to read them; I have worked through his writings that deal directly with theological matters).
