retained their attitudes after moving up. But a great many laborers have moved up in the ordinary modes of advancement open to them at the present time, and they were thereafter not labor representatives. It seems to me that the type of training and the kind of responsibility which go into the making of an executive or manager tends to build up a new group of concepts about labor-management relations. Also, labor's attitude toward the value of pure research and intellectual acitivity is traditionally more conservative even than that of Big Business; that attitude, too, would need to change. -- I liked "Flesh and Fantasy,"too; ditto "Lady in the Dark." And I have, at last, seen a "weird" movie of some merit--Dorothy McArdle's "The Uninvited." A soldier sitting near me expressed the general feeling of the audience quite aptly, when Stella returned to the house alone. Said he, quite audibly, "Gaw dam, sister, don't go up them stairs!" The skillful, restrained use of lighting effects added a great deal to the picture. -- The Mailing-- So; here I find the statement about "education is mismanaged" in re the discussion of Genius. I missed it when I was writing "More on Genius." -- I was glad to see your comments on the "Alfapet." I like English "th" too; but it is relatively rare (in other languages) and very difficult to master when not learned in childhood. Including "n" would have meant omitting both "m" and "ng," and I think the two of them more than offset the omission. Not quite sure just what you mean by "Sam of zi favls ar also hart tu reprisent." I think, tho, that you mean English vowels, since there are only five vowel sounds used in the "Alfapet." -- Don't agree with your definition of "agnostic." A true agnostic doesn't believe either way; he says he doesn't know, and doesn't think there is any way to find out. The atheist believes there is no god, which is no more logical than believing that there is a god; both beliefs depend upon unsubstantiated convictions, and one is nor more logical, nor illogical, than the other. You also classify deists with atheists; apparently, you cannot conceive of a sort of "first cause," which set everything in motion, but which is not concerned with the personal problems of men. You insist that the term "god" must mean "personal god," which is just a matter of definition. Yep; you are being dogmatic; so am I, no doubt.
CELEPHAIS -- Occasionally, I like to read such literary productions as "The Abominations of Yondo." I liked this one. But I don't think it should be classified as a "story." Not what I mean by "story," anyway. It's incomplete. It would do excellently as a chapter in a longer story. --Your various forms of "4" in the number game go beyond my knowledge of the subject; I had only 16 hrs. of college math. And I can't read the forms as you drew them in below with a stylus; too fuzzy in my copy. -- The next time you send out a post-mailing, please don't wrap it so securely; I mutilated CELEPHAIS rather sadly digging the wrapping off.
SAPPHO -- Certainly one of the top items of the mailing, the cover alone being enough to justify high rating. I liked "They Wait Outside" by Gray, and "Gray Day" by the Yerke, in that order. On the lighter side, Waldyer's "Ode to a Cat" is pleasing. Graph was undoubtedly writing about the big black Persian which insists that the proper time and place for serenading the neighbor's tabby is at 2 A. M. under my window. "Eastern Sketch"is very good.
NUCLEUS -- This ish certainly justifies the inclusion of Trudy in the "Guest Expert" class in LRC's "Fapafile." It is rather remarkable the way the review of the previous mailing evolves into a well-thought-out article on the "Winning of the Peace." -- Trudy's regret at the passing of old, familiar faces from the FAPA may be a sort of prologue to her own leave-taking after her marriage.
Those "other interests" are certain to assume even greater importance. I hope I'm wrong. -- Spence's pseudo-article is just a little too accurate to be funny-- or would be, if there were very many Fapans to whom it applied. Actually, I think there are more with Trudy's outlook than there are all-out fans. 
MILTY'S MAG. -- Failed to reach the proposed "massive" dimensions, but what there was of it was interesting. The Math rather misses me; I studied and understood

The end is not yet folks, -- there is more coming, so just turn the next page..
