Sponsors | From a generous supporter: $50

I've recently received a $50 contribution from a reader whose previous donations included $300, in March. Thank you! Repeat donors are among my most important supporters. Her gift brings me to 45% of my goal -- but with barely a month remaining. The breakdown:

• Reader donations: $444
• Advertising: $1,338

I'm trying to earn $4,000 quarterly, through donations of $5 per reader, plus advertising sales. Please use the PayPal "Donate" tool in the green rail, upper right. Or mail cash and checks payable to: Jim Hopkins, 584 Castro St. #823, San Francisco, Calif., 94114-2594.
