In case you were curious about last week's Gadfly email title ("Time to retire"), we are here to assure you: neither we nor Mr. Gadfly are planning to superannuate. Our email server, which tends to have a mind of its own, snipped off the last half of our feature editorial's appellation. The email subject line should have read "Time to retire 'last hired, first fired.'" You can breathe a sigh of relief now.
