[Excerpt] This "double issue" of Cornell Quarterly is special in a number of ways. Most obviously, it is quite lengthy. Given the amount of material for this issue, we decided to make this a combined issue, and thus this represents the October-December 2003 issue (numbers 5 and 6 of volume 44). But besides its length, the timing of this issue is also noteworthy. This is the final issue of Cornell Quarterly to be published by Elsevier. The reasons and benefits of this change will be discussed in our next issue; however, I did want to mention this important point. Furthermore, as this marks the end of an impressive run, I wanted to end this relationship by looking back over Elsevier's publishing tenure, and provide a salute to the content that CQ has printed over this time.
