Page 26 Centauri Opposites -- React! ior to Burbee's, in my estimation, though I can't really judge fairly because I read "Dril" as it appeared in the magazine, not realizing the pages were mixed up until finishing the first wrongly inserted one, then going on unsuspectingly to the next, never dreaming the same error would recur immediately following. It made things slightly hard to follow, but was refreshingly different and sort of exciting. I ought to have read your editorial sooner, I suppose. Said editorial, incidentally, was very good and should continue to be so if you write only as much as you really need to say. "Teleportation" leaves me understanding less about subject than before I read the article; either I'm unbelievingly dumb, or the article isn't what it should be. Humor pretty decent, though Tucker's page was far below his usual level, Baker's poem spoiled only by a bad line here and there that lessens the good effect produced by the rest of it, and Dean's articlette is the sort of thing that makes me see red, and inspires Doug Webster to write swell articles in rebuttal. Art excellent throughout, and I'm waiting for the second issue! It seems that quite a few copies fell apart in the mails, for which I'm awfully sorry. The only stapler (with staples) that I am able to use isn't large enough for the herculean task assigned to it. This issue should hold together, though -- the paper I'm using isn't quite so bulky and there is one less leaf than the last time. As for attempting to devise a new binding, it's an entrancing idea, and possible I can manage to figure something out. Next on the list is Ray Karden, the editor of Cluster. (409 12th, Cloquet, Minn.) The mimeoing was legible, fortunately, but I do think you should use white paper for most of the issue. Much clearer. Your front cover was excellent, and the rear only a little worse. But if the artist pictures a concrete scene like that, it loses much of its effect not having a text to accompany it. The article on teleportation was the worst thing in the ish. Besides being a flagrant contravention of all scientific writing, the author assets that our radio works because of light waves! From what I have been able to pick up of high school physics, it's news to me. Can he explain it? In fact, can anyone explain it? Warner has an excellent idea in his column. If I had a mimeo, I'd see what I could do. Perhaps I will anyway. (By the way, as soon as I get a mimeo -- can god, or anyone, help me? -- I'm going to go one further on your "all stfanzie" and put out one completely devoted to future civilizations as mirrored in stf. It will be known as VISTA.) Teleportation was the one item in the last issue that received universal onions. Allowing it to creep into the mag was an error that won't happen again, I promise you! Space is short, so I'd better get on the to last letter of this issues batch. It's from Charles McNutt, 2721 16th St., Everett, Washington.)
