The following link would benefit from a final copy edit�and I mean that with all good humour, as it's an outstanding homage, and well deserved. I hope Cynthia is out there somewhere, laughing without care at the minutiae that would wither beneath the laser eyes of such a formidable copy mother (a term coined by fellow editor Julia Armstrong, meaning "one who endures the tribulations of deadlines to bring magazines to fruition, and nurtures young editors and writers, schooling them in the finer points of copy editing and research.")
