LBJ Journal publishes two issues For the first time in its history, the editorial board of the LBJ Journal has published two issues this year. One issue is the Journal's 11th print edition; the other is an electronic edition. The Web edition of the magazine, called Forum Online, was published in December and contains feature articles, editorials, and an interactive sounding board. The three features are: "The Constitutional Balance of Powers: The Independent Counsel and the Presidency" by John W. Stickels; "Searching for Effective Governance at the Bureau of Indian Affairs" by Matthew de Ferranti; and "The Labor Element in Yemeni-Saudi Relations: A Lasting Consequence of the Gulf War" by Peter C. Lyon. A section called "Our Turn" includes a guest editorial entitled "End It at the Polls" by Professor James K. Galbraith and two other pieces--one by Michael Collins on "Hopwood: The Battle of Interpretations" and another called "Clinton Wins, but We All Lose" by Anthony Wier. The print edition of the Journal will be published and distributed in late May. The issue will include new articles and features in the traditional format of the Journal, which is now in its 11th year. An electronic version of this edition will also be posted on the Web. This year's managing editors are Leigh Sebastian (fall semester only) and Whitt Orsburn; associate editors are Jose de la Torre, Cara Devetski, Kathy Faliski, Sharon Mastracci, Erik Peterson, Jennifer Somers, Eva Stahl, Anthony Wier, and Rebecca White. The Journal is written, edited, and produced by students and is distributed to members of the LBJ School community, public policy schools, and policy professionals. An editorial board composed of first-year, second-year, and joint-program students is responsible for editing submissions and overseeing the production process.
