SUMMARY: I believe this only ran 9 issues - no idea why. There was a name change in Oct. 1979 - same editor - and I've only been able to find that issue so I don't know when it actually stopped publication. There was no hint in the editor's letters of the impending name change, or that they were going to stop publication after only one issue after the new name...
