To our readers:

In this issue there is a lot of searching— looking high and low for something more, going above and beyond for something better. The ancients sought a connection to the afterlife, and now archeologists search for clues about them. Scientists scour the cosmos for a new Earth and must blast past current technology to get there. The Blackbird’s engineers had to figure out how to fly faster and higher than ever before. We also look within for answers as we wonder why our brains deceive us. And of course, we wouldn’t be able to look for anything without the miracle of vision.
