Editor's Note

Your editor will be out next week on vacation, eschewing cell phone, computer, online news aggregators and quite possibly even television. Filling in will be RCP Editor in Chief Scott Bekker who, like David Letterman on the old "Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson, always does such a wonderful and entertaining job of spelling the regular host. Fortunately, unlike the great Johnny Carson, your editor is not currently dead and will return with a new edition on Oct. 23. In the meantime, please welcome Scott into your inboxes.
