Introducing 'SmartTools'

Hello, discerning readers. I'm out of the office this week, so I'm turning over the weekly Note to Readers to MP Editorial Director Val Frazee.

Hello members! If there is such a thing, I'm amiably hijacking this space to tell you about SmartTools, a brand-new line of Premium Products designed to help you take action.
