Change is in the wind [From the Editor]

Abstract

I'm writing this, my first column as the new editor-in-chief, during the final week of the U.S. presidential election campaign. The U.S. citizens are being bombarded by messages from both major candidates talking about change. No matter what they will do, they will change things in Washington. We have all heard that before, but in politics, it seems to be a common topic. When applying for a new job, it is always easy to talk about what one would do to make changes from one's predecessor's activities. The same holds true for the new editor-in-chief.
