Letter from the Editor - Winter 2007

As I look out my office window, it is obvious that there is an ongoing struggle between the big and the small.

To the south, a street stretches across the horizon with almost every big-box store imaginable lining its sidewalks. To the southeast, the headquarters of the McDonald’s Corporation rises out of the morning mist. With such a contrast between these giants and the everyday American small business, it seems that it is time for an equalizer.
