EDITORIAL
The Riposte has no schedule of publishing dates. As an unsalaried enterprise, its staff of amateur fencers endeavors to publish a magazine devoted exclusively to the sport at as frequent intervals as possible. Result—a new Riposte every six weeks in season and every two months out of season. In fairness to our subscribers, subscriptions are not offered on a calendar basis but rather on a basis of number of issues due.
The present issue is being sent to you within five weeks of our April issue. This is unusual and has been caused by the need to "clear the decks" for the National Championship Issue to follow. April in itself is a busy fencing month, and we have reported on more championships than you can shake a foil at. If the present issue proves to be more statistical than instructive, please place the blame on the calendar.
Our staff and contributors are all active fencing competitors. The National Championships are here. We must close our typewriters, grab our weapon bags, and be off.
