OPPOSITES --REACT! I should have written you a note of gratitude before this for Centauri, which is a sound intelligent little mag and one that I greatly enjoy receiving. Most fanmags I'm apt to leaf through with a dazed expression; but yours' and Laney's and Langley Searles' I always settle down to seriously. As you probably know from my recent letter in Shangri-L'Affaires, I'm particularly sold on Evans' bibliographies----invaluable stuff for the collector and anthologist. Anthony Boucher 2805 Ellsworth Street Berkeley 5, California Enjoyed Centauri 3 quite a lot---tho there were a few things I didn't fall for at sight, the mag stands up well as a whole. Most interesting to me were Warner, Laney, Buchanan, the reader section and the Evans biblio. I don't go for fan fiction in a big way. ---- When last I saw a friend of mine who's a director for Disney, he said that Fantasia II would include Beethoven's Emperor Concerto and Prokofieff's Peter and the Wolf. Tschaikowsky's Nutcracker Suite, despite the fact that it was in Fantasia I, is also to be included, whether because of popularity or the manpower shortage I can't say. Evans' biblio of Saturday Evening Post fantasy is lacking the following items, all by Stephen Vincent Benet: The Curfew Tolls (10/5/35), Johnny Pye & the Fool-Killer (9/18/37), Doc Mellhorn and the Pearly Gates (12/24/38), Henry & the Golden Mine (9/23/39), Daniel Webster and the Ides of March (10/28/39), As It Was in the Beginning (2/6/43). All of these are one hundred per cent fantasy. Although classed as a fantasy in SVB's "Selected Works", "Last of the Legions" (SEP 11/6/37) is a historical short with no fantastic elements. "The Bishop's Beggar" (SEP 2/14/42) is a borderline item. C. J. Fern, Jr. Apt 3-C, 400 Riverside Dr. New York City (25)
