plain jerk as an editor. Nick closes up with this scoop of the week! He sez, "One thing I have ascertained. The mysterious Alan P Roberts does actually exist. I have not met him, but I have talked to several who know him and I am assured that he is no ghost." And the ini[[?]]itable Nicholas E Kenealy closes up with his memory-jogging "The Voice of Your Conscience, J Oloysius Goldberk." THAT GRAMMATICAL UNDERWORLD OF STFANDOM: MOSTERPI OF UNDERSTATEMENT Indeed, there is more than one good monsterpuss this time. For instance, Jerk Jinx sez, under an aliass, "I hope to continue fan activities, in the form of a few articles and correspondence long after I'm in the service. And I hope to remain on American shores for at least 7 months after I'm inducted. Hope to get officer's training. In fact, that's the only reason I'm going to go into the Army. .....if I weren't sure of that, i'd promptly hustle myself into the Merchant Marine where there's going to be - and is now - gobs of money and story material floating around loose. Oh, hell, I'ma sad bastard. Tendrilly Thine, Burgundy." The latest addition to prodom's house of ill fame explains that "Burgundy" is a hangover from the [[underline]]last[[end underline]] Campalaver for the duration - whatever the hell [[underline]]that[[end underline]] is - I only got through high school, youse bum. PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE Back in the last of December, just before we - Fortier and I, Reitrof, - trotted down to board the heap for the induction center, we had a further peek into the doings of that emminent authority, America's outstanding rocketeer - you ask who sedso, I say I sez so - to discover that burgundy and rocket fuel do not mix. Cripps had a little trouble with the experiments; I understand we weren't too far from death or a reasonable facsimle thereof, so I haven't much technical data to report. Before too long I wish to present the real flash business of Jimmy's work, but this emergency flare will perforce suffice this time. Maybe that guy with "The Wright Idea" will come through to spill the latest information; I don't know, 'cause anyway, i don't understand enough of the basic details to illuminate eve the crudest facts at the moment. But the tests are running well, the noise has been cut down to one of history's lowest peaks, all of which indicated better use of potential power, and the tubes haven't been getting white hot lately, which they used to do on simple runs of 30 seconds. If late installments read like this column is put together with clothes-pins, well, tehn the reader is right. i ship inserts to Gergen just before composing time. And since the readers wlways write - how about some mail care of Editor Gergen or myself?
