I have no idea how S.A. is doing or will do in the future (though I of
course hope the magazine prospers).  I do know that in the 1940's,
S.A. was a very poor journal, consisting mostly of industry press
releases.  About 1948, however, there was a rebirth.  The quality and
quantity of articles improved greatly.  I only know of this
retrospectively, having just entered the first grade myself in 1948.
Perhaps someone with a longer memory could enlighten us with the
details.

In any event, maybe S.A. is destined to have these cycles of good and
bad times.  Maybe it is too soon to count this venerable journal out.
