ABBREVIATIONS

A style of all or nothing (initials or complete title) has been employed in this new edition; partial abbreviations have been purged, to limit confusion. In cases where two well-known periodicals have the same initials, only one has the initials and the other is always spelled out in its entirety (i.e. NR is New Republic, and National Review is spelled out).
