Even more remarkable that I got anything finished at all with my computer crashing for two successive periods and doing a massive re-install. At least, I knew how to fix it but still left with a perplexing problem of why it happened so it wouldn't happen again. That I'm still working on. So much work, need more hours in a day. Maybe I can arrange it.
Editorials are the writer's soapbox.
They lie somewhere between an article and a promotional prop. Often as much these days, I've seen editors elsewhere just use them to say something about the content of their publications. I've always seen that as being rather pointless, especially as the buyer has already picked up the magazine with the expectation of buying it. That and a two-page contents list doesn't exactly show the editor is firing on all barrels and doesn't want to say anything significant. Never sure if that's a good idea or they're punch-drunk from late hours.
