latter part of that time. He joined the University of Michigan in 1984. Gibala has served on numerous advisory committees and participated in various professional societies. He served as councillor on the MRS Executive Committee in 1996. In 1988, he co-organized a symposium on science and technology of refractory metals at the MRS Spring Meeting. He is one of the meeting chairs for the 1998 MRS Spring Meeting. Alan I. Taub Councillor Alan I. Taub is manager of the Materials Science Department at Ford's Research
Laboratory. His research interests have included studies in flow and structural relaxation in amorphous alloys, mechanical properties of rapidly solidified nickel-base alloys with emphasis on improved ductility in intermetallic compounds for aircraft engine applications, and processing of superconducting materials for medical magnets. He currently manages research activities on advanced automobile body, chassis, and powertrain materials. Taub received his ScB degree in materials engineering from Brown University in 1976 and his PhD degree in applied physics from Harvard University in 1979. From there he worked with General
Electric's Corporate Research and Development Center until 1993. He most recently managed the Materials Properties and Processes Laboratory at GE before joining Ford. Since joining MRS, Taub has co-organized two symposia on amorphous alloys and high-temperature materials and two on manufacturing, he has co-chaired the 1993 MRS Fall Meeting, and is currently leading the MRS Headquarters Building Task Force. Taub served as councillor on the MRS Executive Committee in 1996. He is also a member of the External Affairs and Public Affairs Committees.
Journal of Materials Research: Status Report 1996 The Journal of Materials Research (JMR) continues as a primary archival, cross-disciplinary journal in materials science and technology. It remains in the top 5% of all journals in materials in terms of high citations/paper and low subscription cost/ page. It is supported by an unusually dedicated group of editors. The increasingly faster pace in materials has led to an increased need for rapid publication. JMR communications are now handled by two special editors, Patrick Gallagher and Robert Frankenthal. We particularly invite submission of new, highquality work for consideration as communications. By its nature, materials constantly moves in new directions. In an effort to present perspectives on emerging areas
and updates on continuing, exciting areas, we have from time to time published "Focus Issues" in which a substantial part of one JMR issue is devoted to papers on a common theme, gathered together by a focus issue editor. Two past issues were on "Green Materials," edited by Julian Szekely, and "Synthesis and Processing," edited by Peter Esherick. Future focus issues will include "Green Materials II," "Superconductivity—Ten Years of Progress," and "Photovoltaics." Paul Siffert has recently agreed to act as Focus Issue Editor. Under the guidance of two review editors, Lynn Boatner and Har
