When Dan Ihde passed the reins of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute to me 11 years ago this very issue, he shared several words of wisdom. "If you make the right decision 80% of the time," one of his adages went, "you'll be the greatest editor who ever lived." But more than his words, it was Dan himself who set the mark for fine editorship, exceptional scholarship, and integrity. There could be no better mentor.
We at the Journal and in the clinical oncology community at large mourn the loss of Daniel C. Ihde, M.D., who died December 9 at age 61. It
