A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
In this issue we had intended to do a wrap-up on the French Revolution as well as
show you some very interesting buttons sent in by our readers. However, as so often
happens, time and space limitations precluded us from carrying out these plans.
Therefore, these buttons will be pictured in an upcoming issue.
