After reading the numerous responses to Juliana Spahr and Stephanie Young's "Numbers Trouble," Jennifer Ashton's response, and our note, it became clear that we needed to make these articles available online. We hope the essays will ground a larger exchange of ideas.

Our initial reluctance to post the articles was only due to the magazine's financial insecurity: we rely on issue sales for 80% of our $50,000 annual budget. Therefore we hope that you'll consider ordering the issue or subscribing to CR. The magazine's survival depends on support from its readers.
