Memories of Michel

Preface: By far the most frequent approach to writing an editorial for a special issue of a journal is for the Guest Editor to simply summarize the high points of each of the articles in the issue. However, I believe this is an easy way out; and that it is a disservice that does nothing positive for the authors, the readers, or the journal. If an editor chooses this route, why would the person holding the special issue in his or her hand read the entirety of each of the articles? If the reader does not do this, there will be no access to, and no recall of, the full contribution of each of the articles.
