Section A contained 863 pages in 1997, comprising 1 Lead Article, 75 Research Papers and 10 Short Communications. This represents a decrease with respect to preceding years and it is hoped that this tendency will not continue. As usual the major concerns are on the one hand the need to decrease publication times for which every effort is made and on the other hand the lack of suggestions by readers and Co-editors of good suggestions for Lead Articles and Topical Reviews.
One important feature of 1998 will be the Special Issue to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Acta. The Guest Editor for that special issue is Professor H. Schenk and about 25 papers have been invited.
