March/April1999
The bimonthly schedule finally catches up to Speak's editorial staff of two. Feature story development went like this: "I don't know, let's do something on pawnshops" and "I don't know, let's do something on audiobooks." At the time we thought this issue might be our It's Hard or Let It Be, but, alas, we survived, which I suppose makes it our Who Are You or Yellow Submarine.
