MAILING MUSINGS FAN-TODS . . Channing's defense of George O. Smith was not really needed -- the Venus Equilateral stories are all X by this interested reader....Math was 'way over my head, naturally. I'm a strictly 2 plus 2 guy....Yesterday's 10,000 Years continues to be Famdon's most interesting column....Revista very interesting, and entertaining....See page 2 for comment on his FAPA-FANTASY question...A very excellent issue all around, Norm. BROWSING . . Was proud to have a little hand in this fine mag. If I had known the dead-line was to have been so long delayed, I could easily have finished all the material Mike sent me. But I am such a guy as has been taught to believe in dead-lines. Maybe some of our dilatory publishers should be put in a "dead-line"!....Brown's Selection of books coincides with my own to a surprising degree, except that I list THE SHIP OF ISHTAR first....Doug Webster's GREAT BRITAIN OUTSIDE FANDOM was one of the finest articles I've read in a long time in any fanzine. Gives us USers a very clear picture of our British friends and their thoughts. We could well do with more such articles....Keep 'em coming, Michael my lad. THE MAG WITHOUT A NAME . . I still get a tremendous bang outa the PEOPLE STORIES pic. One of the cleverest ever drawn for fanmags. The expression on the face is really terrific!....Warner's article on Fandom very good; gives quite an accurate picture of our clan....LASFS MEETS WOLFMAN gives a chuckle. Nice ish, Dunk. ALLEGORY . . A veru interesting and well-told tale, Jack. NONESUCH . . So glad that Ron is with us and such a fine mag.... AUTOBIOGRAPHY very interesting....RE-INCARNATION is something of which I've thought a lot, and studied quite a bit, but of which I have not quite been able to make up my mind. There are so many things that point to its being possible. Having personally had a lot of mental pictures of past things that I cannot tell whether they are "memories", or products of a vivid imagination. Am trying to keep an open mind on the subject until I get more data for making a decision one way or the other....Ferguson's article on art work very interesting, presenting some ideas for future consideration....More, please, Ron. FANTAST'S FOLLY . . It is very, very pleasant to be hearing from our British friends once more. They are certainly a very welcome addition to the FAPA Mailings....This observer personally enjoys these tales of visits among fans as much or more than anything else published in fanzines. Helps us get to know so many people. PHANTAGRAPH . . PHANTASPHERE . . These little mags are very high class, in an artsy sort of way....The poetry is good of its kind, although this observer personally prefers something he can understand better, such as A SAD SONG OF THE SPHERES. AFTERTHOUGHT . . Sorry, Doc, but I agree with Warner that ordinary newspaper articles DO have as much effect on the nation at large as fiction.
