I'm reasonably confident that it won't get measurably worse, if only because I don't know how one would measure that. In any case, this week's issue does not start out very strong. But I think it gets better as it goes, at least for a bit, before it starts dropping off in quality. And at the end of the day, all I really aspire to is to have a high point somewhere",
