It is sad indeed to lose the University of Missouri Press.  I am  
afraid that many smaller university presses are threatened by this  
economy and changes in how people access information.  I was very  
troubled yesterday to see that the Times-Picayune is going to a three- 
day-a-week format.  Who knew that Farenheit 451 would dawn, not  
through a police state, but because of electronic media, hard times  
and Republican legislators?  (Okay, so we did know Repubs would be  
involved...)
