nail in the R&T coffin after their revamping of staff and format. I have
subscribed to (or collected other's throw aways of) R&T for nearly 50 years

changing. Oops, they have changed. I hope that someone is telling this to
Mr. Webster.
mike kowalski,

p.s., I have saved them all and will resort to reading the real R&T's.
