INVITED REVIEWERS-i 977
Ialways had the idea that when I was old I’d get frightfully clever. I’d get awfully learned. I’d get jolly sage. People would
come to me for advice. But nobody ever comes to me for anything, and I don’t know a thing.
-Ralph Richardson, distinguished British actor
(quoted in The New Yorker)
Temperamentally, an editor may be sanguine, phlegmatic, bilious, or melancholic-usually some combination of these.
Whatever his predominant disposition, there are days when Sir Ralph’s sentiments are his, and he regretfully must disclaim
omniscience in his specialty. Even though his task requires the professional aplomb of a cymbalist, his errors are (or at least
seem to him to be) just as conspicuous. We strive for excellence, not perfection (the latter being the strait gate to ulcerdom
and posthumous rewards). We do like what we publish to be correct ifpossible. Thus it is that we extend our thanks each
year to the “saintly band” [I. Douglas- Wilson, former Lancet editor] ofinvited reviewers who have kept editor and contributors
on their toes and have contributed substantially to whatever success this journal enjoys in performing its mission of conveying
information clearly, accurately, and concisely.
