Wood goes on to announce that he would be writing about Salt of the Earth.However, in his editorial note for this issue, Wood announced that he dropped the essay after discovering James L. Lorence's book on the making of the film. Wood also announces in this issue that he is retiring from the editorial board of CineACTION! but he will continue to write essays 'in my own time and at my own pace.'<br>
