Of the more than five hundred questionnaires sent out, one hundred sixty completed replies were received over the following twelve months, of which one hundred fifty-seven were considered usable.

The six court documents that are reprinted in this issue stem from that case, as follows: 1) Brief of Amicicuriae on behalf of Appellants; 2) Appellants Closing Brief; 3) Court Decision; 4) Appeal; 5) Petition for Modification of Opinion Without Change in the Judgement, and Petition for Rehearing; and, 6) 'Exhibit B' to previous Petition.
