The GENERAL SUBJECTS section uses a different entry format. The headline or brief annotation is listed first followed by the month, day, month, page and column. The complete subject heading list for the index, along with all cross references, is printed on colored paper and bound into each annual volume. The user is refered to this list for help in locating the correct section and correct heading for the topic being searched.
SIZE OF INDEX:  Each of the annual indexes for 1970-1976 has about 6000 entries per year. The 1977 annual index has about 23,000 entries.
