Several letters to the editor are presented in response to the articles in the January 2017 issues including "Pledge to Find Election Fraud Few Say Exists," "Why BuzzFeed Published the Dossier" by Ben Smith and "Court Selection Expected Soon (So Is a Brawl)."

The article reports that as much as 90 percent of all documents and correspondence are created and maintained in electronic formats. Because of this, the focus of many lawsuits is shifting to electronically stored information: how to preserve it, how to search vast quantities of it for relevant evidence, and how to produce it in discovery. Federal legislation passed in 2007 will require organizations involved in litigation, including higher-education institutions, to provide much more electronic information to their opponents in court, and punish those who willfully delete it.

The article presents the author's views regarding bipartisan efforts in the U.S. to increase national security, with information on nuclear weapons programs in Iran, terrorist plots against the U.S., and the use of the economic power of U.S. states to coordinate state-level sanctions against Iran.
