The 3rd Quarter issue of *Cryonics Magazine* is now available.  New
editor Brian Shock has the publication back on a regular schedule, and
the new issue is both attractive and interesting.
 
Columns include thoughtful pieces by Fred Chamberlain, Thomas
Donaldson, and Brian Shock.  An excerpt from Jim Halperin's *The Truth
Machine* is also printed.  But the issue is primarily devoted to two
subjects:
 
The Patient Care Trust, with two articles by me: A more in-depth
discussion of the Trust than was posted on CryoNet, and the six-year
history of the trust's creation.
 
The suspension of one of the original cryonics activists, Joe Cannon,
who committed suicide in Florida in February of this year.  Linda
Chamberlain wrote a detailed case report, which is followed by
comments from psychologist (and Alcor Director) Michael Riskin, PhD
and by Alcor President Fred Chamberlain about "Depression, Suicide,
and Cryonics."  Brian also includes several sections from Joe Cannon's
personally published book, *Recollections of an Average Man.*
 
The cost for the issue is $4.50.  Contact Joe Hovey at Alcor
Foundation at 602-922-9013.
