This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they grow wary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right to amend it, or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it."

Notice from p. [2] of the magazine:

MEL LYMAN will no longer write for AVATAR. Mel's last "TO ALL WHO WOULD KNOW" appears in this issue and although we will reprint nine of these articles in issues 22 thru 30, Mel will no longer write to all who would know. Several of the pieces entitled "TELLING IT LIKE IT IS" are already written and will be published in future issues but no new ones will be written. Mel will continue to turn over to the magazine the best letters he receives but he will answer no letters. Those letters that are answered in the magazine will be answered by Mel's friends.
