a line on some beetle and let me in on the bliss second hand. It looks like I am going to get nowhere fast along this line of endeavor. Incidentally King is going to get married--probably in the fall sometime. The girl is Bob Stacy's sister Mary Janee I don't know whether you have met her or not--but she is ok. King's marriage ought to give a bachelor of 40 yrs a new lease on life. I am hoping that it will stimulate me but on the face of it I should say I am unchanged. Are you familiar with this parable of the isms: I think it is pretty good. Socilaism: If you have two cows you give one to your neighbor. Communism: If you have two cows you give them to the gov't and the gov't then gives you some milk. Fascism: If you gave two cows you keept them give the milk to the gov't and the gov't then sells you some milk. New Dealism: If you have two cows you shoot the one milk the other and pour the milk down the drain. Nazism. If you have two cows the gov't shoots you and takes the cows. Capitalism: If you have two cows you sell the one and buy a bull. If you want an extremely interesting book to read and one that is also informative try Days of our Years by Pierre Van Paassen. Good luck and write me when you have time. My address from the 11th of this month until the 29th will be Hinman House, NW Uni. Evanston, Ill. Yours, Nile
