Thanks and congratulations for grabbing the November issue of KLIPSUN. If you’ve read this magazine in the past, you might notice fewer stories in this issue than usual. This is because we decided to focus on quality over quantity: stronger stories, larger photos, more dynamic layouts. We're trying to break from the mold of a 32 page newspaper feature section and look more like a magazine. And since the holidays are near, we've inserted a special Holiday Fun Page to bring out the yuletide spirit in us all (whatever that is).

I especially want to thank Scott Tompkins. He wrote a dynamite story on the future Amtrak line from Vancouver, British Columbia, to Portland, Ore., only to have it axed because a similar story ran in Klipsun a year ago.

The editors and I talked about it. We told him, "Well, we might run it. But... we only have one page. Could you shorten …

Klipsun Magazine hasn't had an issue with a theme for several years, so this quarter the editors and I decided to have one.

Committing the entire magazine to one theme is a major decision. We wanted to have a theme that the writers would like. I wanted it to be broad enough to provide plenty of room for creativity.

We chose people as our subject, which sounds simple enough. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that just about everything could be included in the topic. That thought appealled to me the most.

The magazine would …
