Thomas P. Sheahen, of Morristown, N.J., writes to point out that during the current economic crisis facing science those who seek to make science appear more “relevant,” and hence drum up more support, have been taking a wrong approach.

To do this we need a new journal, composed of day‐to‐day results, written in the style to which the financial community has become accustomed. Here is Sheahen's example of a typical day's entry:
