it is. Doubtless Fil expects detailed answers, so: 1. The "other two" fanmags slip me now. 2. Indeed! If it weren't for dating I could have rewritten the 4000 words into many more installments. 3. Belittle Warner I did not , nor will I. Warner's old enough to speak for himself. 4. Yeh. Evidently my "two-and-one-half wasted pages in the 12th issue of MFS Bulletin which constituted...boresome drivel" didn't set so badly with the Gergen and the rest of the thinking public. Now, Milty: a. I use "that ridiculous pen name" just as do Ackerman, Wright, etc, because I want to. b. Checking through late installments in issues 13 through 15, I challenge you to find anything "wild" amid the items that you are serious. Or do you refer to some other interpretation of that word "wild" than incorrect, wrong, and far-fetched? c. MAR, if I considered people "stupid, ordinary, and uninteresting", HF would cease to exist for lack of material. I feel just the opposite, naturally. d. Why hold me responsible for Bolitho's statements and views, to which I was a mere interpreter? If you must, tho - So Bach and Curie slaved. So you have half an argument; JSB was an artist. So it doesn't disprove the fact that "many of our greatest artists are the most irresponsible". Or don't you consider these greats...Orson Welles, Fank Gruber, Art Cohn, Damon Runyan? But enough quibbling, gentlemen, enough. let's call this a close to small-voiced rebuttals - though realize I love 'em; it shows fandom still has a little guts - for I've neither the time nor inclination to talk more on the present items. Another fan artists you fanzine editors might look up is E F De La Roi. Address: US Coast Guard Cutter #468 (13318) - Fleet Postoffice - Norfolk, Virginia ROCKET-FLIGHT is a fanzine a little different from the ordinary fan effort. Devoted to the technical angle of actual rocket-flight, this whole fanzine is well-written and informative. Each issue contains one or more fotos of some phase of rocket activity. Keith Buchanan, Box 148 - Amsterdam, Ohio, is the editor and publisher. Carl Jacobi, whose "Cosmic Castaway" saw print in the last issue of Planet, sold "Black Lace" a short while ago to some adventure publication - probably Thrilling Adventure. Cliff Simak sold a 15 ,000 word novelette to Astounding just after his "Shadow of Life" was printed in AST. He submitted another tale to Amazing, and hopes it will be the 1st of a series. He has also written a western and submitted it last week. Ollie Saari hasn't had much time recently to devote to pro writing, but finally completed 8 pages of a rocketry article for the abovementioned [[underline]]Rocket Flight[[end underline]]. Ollie is working after hours at the U while attending classes regularly there - which leaves little time for writing. --jlg
