for the good of the whole, such as collating the uniformat book reviews, is another. (But unless this were made a section of the official organ, it would require changes in the constitution. Perhaps something simple to the effect that the association shall underwrite publication of such projects as are approved by a two-thirds vote of the membership would suffice.) "Do You Hear Voices" is intriguing; I wish EEE had included the mailing address of the magazine. And was it spelled "scientificiation" in the original? Who is Algis Budrys? There ought to be an unwritten law that a biographical note should accompany all first contributions to FAPA. [line break] ---oo0oo--- INSPIRATION really lives up to its name this issue. Even though Bridges' monumental survey comes to a halt in 1942, it more than makes up for all the sins of ommission of fandom in connection with this historic anniversary. if I were not a FAPA member I should certainly send in two fins. [line break] ---oo0oo--- BLITHERINGS I hope Ollie and Saari is aroused by Non Credo; the Unitarian minister he wrote about in [title underlined] Stf Comment in the winter of 1945 puts out a pamphlet in which he states that "to sin is to be out of tune with one's times" and "therefore the worst sinners today are ministers and the men who write advertisements." If Ollie is still with us he probably can furnish the precise wording. Chan would have impressed me more if he had pertinent quotes from "Occam's Razor" (that is if "Occam's Razor" can be quoted) to prove his points. As it stands now, it has to be taken on blind faith--something I am willing to do for not more than the time between receipt of the Spring and Fall mailings. Quoteless, it's like a bluff in a poker game. It would also be interesting to know the tenor of the atheist directives on "unitive knowledge of the divine Ground". Philip Wylie did a much better job on the dangers of restricting the flow of scientific information, but don't let that stop you, Chan. Why pick on Pennsylvania for your a-bomb center? It is so thickly populated that an atomic scientist would have an easier chance of escaping than he would in, sya, new Mexico or Arizona. Someone might inquire as to just how Radio Station KRNT, Des Moines, Iowa, was able to have a recording crew present at Alamegordo 7/16/45. Their on-the-spot recording of the bomb test won them a radio award or two, remember? Only now have I latched onto a copy of the Smyth report. Tsk, Tsk!
