Subject: Re: U.S. News numbering question
I called the Publisher this morning and Vol 131 No 11 was a news stand only
issue put our after the attacks. The date on the issue is the 14th. Our
jobber is going to try and get it.
Hope this helps.

Subject: U.S. News numbering question
We are trying to untangle the numbering mess of U.S. News for the
July-Sept. quarter. There seems to be a double issue from July 9/16
(v131,#2), and another double issue Aug 20/27 (131#7). Sept. 17 is
labeled v.131,#10, but then Sept.24 is v.131,#12. Are we missing one or
was this an adjustment from the numbering of the double issues?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Judy Miller enquired about US news and world report skipping an issue
number this quarter. According to their subscription services (called
this morning at 1-800-436-6520) issue #11 was a special issue on the
bombings dated Sept. 14 and only sold at newsstands, not sent to
subscribers. The content was substantially, though not entirely, repeated
in the Sept. 24 issue.

Hi Judy,
According to the U.S. News website,
http://www.usnews.com/usnews/issue/archive.htm#2001 there is no issue
published between Sept 17 and Sept 26 but the volume and number are not
indicated here. I suspect that the discrepancy in numbering is, as you have
suggested, an adjustment. It could also be a mistake.

According to our records the publisher skipped 131:11 and went right issue
12. Seems like your holdings are correct.

US News had a special Sept. 14, 2001 issue. It doesn't say it is
issue 11, but it falls in the right place.

You're not missing any. U.S. News & World Report skipped number 11 from this
volume. The latest four issues are:
v.131:no.14 (2001:Oct 8)
v.131:no.13 (2001:Oct 1)
v.131:no.12 (2001:Sep 24)
v.131:no.10 (2001:Sep 17)

Subject: Re: U.S. News numbering question
The absence of #11 is explained in #12. There was a #11 sold at
newsstands only--it was not sent to subscribers. According to the
magazine, #11 was published in a hurry after the Sept. 11 attacks, when
there wasn't time or transportation to mail it.

Subject: Re: U.S. News numbering question
I noticed this too. A couple weeks ago I read that US NEWS and a couple of
the other weeklies supposedly published special newsstand-only editions
immediately following the attack on the WTC-Pentagon. The key here is
"newsstand only"; the article stated that these issues may not have been
mailed to all subscribers. Is this the answer we're looking for??

That's the way our copies run, too. If there was a #11, we have not
received it, either.
