To Make a Long Story Short
While much attention is paid to the depth and breadth of the novel, short stories get no respect. It’s the novel that budding fiction writers everywhere are trying to write. Young wordsmiths rarely exclaim, “I want to write the Great American Short Story!”

Accounting for Hatfield
Most of us are accustomed to thinking of accounting as a profession where people sit at desks and pour over columns of figures. But there is more to accounting than annual ledger books, as Stephen Zeff shows in Henry Rand Hatfield: Humanist, Scholar, and Accounting Educator (JAI Press, 2000). The fruit of meticulous research that spanned more than 30 years, Zeff’s critically acclaimed biography reveals the life and scholarship of Hatfield (1866–1945), long regarded as the “dean of accounting teachers everywhere.”
