EDITORIAL NOTE: ANNE HURST
I am really most grateful for the amazing number of e-mails sending best
wishes to Anne after her very lengthy operation at Guildford Hospital last
night from which she is making a good initial recovery.

However just to add that I am several hundred messages behind in replies to
all types and as Anne will need extensive care in the coming weeks, it may
take me some time to catch up. I hope you will bear with me.
