Early Letters Deadline 

It's almost time for Christmas. And New Year's. And all sorts of other holidays that keep editors and page designers out of offices and printers out of print shops. Whee! I mean, the Journal regrets to inform you that we will have early deadlines for the next two weeks. Please email us your letters no later than 11:30 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 21, for our Dec. 26 edition and Friday, Dec. 28, for our Jan. 3 edition. As usual, please write no more than 300 words about something we've recently published, and include an address and a phone number where we can reach you that Friday morning. Happy holidays!
