[Excerpt] This issue of the Cornell Hotel and Restaurant Administration Quarterly is the first to be published by Sage Publications. As Gary Thompson notes elsewhere in this issue, this change will truly be a great benefit for the Cornell Quarterly and its readers. As excited as we here at the Cornell Quarterly are about this procedural change, I anticipate that it will be the content of this issue that will excite our readers. This issue has allowed researchers and practitioners to ask tough questions on a sensitive topic. The question I have for you, the reader, is, do you allow yourself to be excited by the opportunity to ask tough questions?
