Give the fans what we really want-a monthly column by Malmo. With all due respect to the author of the editors column, I would venture a guess that it would increase circulation exponentially. I can see it now. People lined up at their mailboxes screaming Mal-mo, Mal-mo, Mal-mo. Keith

Doesn't work like that, sadly. Individual writers rarely increase circulation by much. Trust me, I know. My magazine, Athletics Today, had the best writers on the sport in the UK (OK so we also had a column by Linford Christie, maybe that cancelled it out) but couldn't overtake Athletics

This could be a fun addition the mag though - the monthly rant. One month on drugs ... the next month on how racewalkers are all cheaters ... the next month on Jon Entine ... the next month on the ineptness of USATF's media policy... Darn it, I see I'm too late to call dibs on the new mascot.
