Second, all it is is list of links to current articles. I try to send these out on Fridays, the day a "new issue" is started, but often I don't, like this week.

Sometimes I include last week's stories with the new issue list, if there are a lot of them or they seem important to me at the time, but to make sure you don't miss anything you should really go to <a href="http://berkeleydailyplanet.com">berkeleydailyplanet.com</a>, and click on "previous issue" if you haven't been checking daily. Those in the know are aware that when I start posting in a new issue you can click on "next issue" and watch my progress if you're impatient.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">I hope this is all perfectly clear, or at least relatively clear.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Bob Burnett is taking the week off.
