Another very good issue. I wish you would send it to me. I haven't received my copy even though I have subscribed for many years.
David--we've received some isolated reports (from Florida and Illinois) of readers who haven't received issues, and we're looking into them. In the meantime, please call Cindy Link at (815) 964-5813 (she's here in our office), and she will get a replacement issue sent out to you today.
Scott-the July issue of Chronicles arrived in my mailbox today, July 3. Very welcome, as always. Each month's issue is a morale boost. An issue with an article by Roger McGrath is a bonus. Thanks again to the editors and writers at Chronicles for all of your work.
David--Glad to hear it. We're not quite sure why the issues have been slow to arrive for some people. Thank goodness we're paying 40 percent more for postage now...
The cover art for the July issue is intriguing. I would like to ask the artist a couple questions: are the man and woman in your "Et in Arcadia Ego" anyone in particular? Is the viewer intended to know who the man and woman are? If not, are you making a broader statement? What would your message be? I'd appreciate any explanation you are willing to give! ~A
The question of who are the man and woman on the cover of the July issue was answered in the September issue: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie!
