Recent Advances

In using initials as the title of this editorial, I am not resorting to bureaucratic gobbledygook, but to shorthand. PIR is the name of this journal; CME, as everyone concerned with credits for relicensing knows, is Continuing Medical Education. We hope that readers will be familiar with each. CME is not new. In 1907, the AMA called on county medical societies to provide systematic review of medical school curriculum to be able, then, to acquaint practitioners with recent advances as being taught in medical schools. Today, the CME effort is much more extensive. But the principle of local implementation of national educational developments seems especially appropriate for the Academy's CME program, and especially for PIR.

Major Progress

The use CCD detectors has allowed a major progress in abundance derivations for globular cluster stars in the last years. Abundances deduced from high dispersion spectra now correlates well with other abundance indicators. I discuss some problems concerning the derivation of accurate metal abundances for globular clusters using high dispersion spectra from both the old photographic and the most recent CCD data. The discrepant low abundances found by Cohen (1980), from photographic material for M71 giants, are found to be due to the use of too high microturbulences.
