The May and November numbers of this journal for 1962 included some description of the unremitting and little known work performed by the Editorial Board. It was noted in passing that each manuscript is read not only by a member (or members) of the Board; it is also sent to at least one other reviewer. A medical journal is enormously strengthened by its ability to turn thus for general wisdom or special information to hundreds of particularly qualified people. The only compensation for the time-consuming work these people are suddenly asked to perform is, in the phrase with which Kenneth Blackfan used to console his house-officers, "their increased opportunity for service."
