GHOSTEST WITH THE MOSTEST

Spooks to Form own Journal--Name it!

Must be a slow news day. the NYT published yet another piece about how many ghosts write major journal articles, the relevant editors express relevant surprise, and life goes on (even for the ghosts).

What you may not know is that the Ghosts are preparing to form their own peer-reviewed medical journal with the hope of competing in the majors. "We're tired of being booed by the media," said one translucent source, until he disappeared. "We're going to float out on our own."

The name of the new journal remains uncertain. JAGA, the obvious source, may not be it. A number of Ghosts are also members of the American Science Fiction Writers Association, and so linking up with that organization, perhaps not too publicly, is also a possibility. _Spiritual Medicine_ was rejected as too hippy dippy.

There are rumors the look of the new journal may also be different. Instead of the usual covers, there may simply be light white cloth, with a pair of eyes cut out. "But we don't want to be confused with the Klan," said one member. "No problem," said another. "The Klan does it for free."

We'll see where all this flits.
