I just received a renewal form from HBR (actually from Neodata) that states
in large letters in the lower right hand corner:

"Unconditional Guarantee:  If you are ever dissatisfied with Harvard Business
Review for *any* reason, we'll send you a prompt refund, no questions asked."

Interesting, is it not?  Perhaps if we ALL asked for our money back HRB would
pay attention to what we've been saying.  Too bad this is not feasible.

Go get 'em, Janice!  you speak on behalf of many serials people.
