CH36 has, like CH37 been delayed for a number of reasons, many of which are an off-shoot of the dreadful events and days following September 11th. CH37 should be in your mailboxes within a week. All I can do at this point is offer sincere apologies. All subscriptions have been extended by one issue in partial recompense. David Saks makes his first appearance in our pages with an analysis of the Jameson's Raid. Little more, according to some, than a naked grab for land by Cecil Rhodes, the consummate imperialist, it had much to do with setting of the powder keg that led to the Boer War.
