All submissions must be in either Microsoft Word (.doc) format or Rich-Text Format (.rtf). The text, quotations, and endnotes should be double-spaced with ample margins for copy-editing and should conform to the fifteenth edition of the Chicago Manual of Style. (Those to whom the Manual is unavailable should consult the pages of this journal or the JFR style sheet.)
