Fan Slantas carries an editorial worthy of its preeminence. Well-heim, Laney, Kepner, and Fern were all better reading than I've had in a long time. Kepner led the crop. I'd like to update Jimmy on the fact that the GGFS has recently been given what seems to be an honestagawd shot in the arm. I'll bet he'd like to be back there with yours truly. I know I would enjoy meeting him again at one of the gala occasions. Incidentally, former "Jike", I'd like to hear from you despite my former but now dwindling incese over that draft evasion stunt. It would do a zealous fan's heart good to watch these jet-propelled P-59's zoom by at a height of 50 feet doing about 500 miles an hour. Maneuverable? Man alive, that word's incapable of expression, although the handling off the ship is little cautious due to the blackout affect when too many G's hit a pilot. The ship presumably will fly anywhere there is atmosphere at all and can break any speed record. To wit, ia a routine run, the P-59 did Washington, D.C. to Rochester in 35 minutes -- at cruising speed. The sound of the ship is like the sharp hiss emitted by a locomotive just before starting off when it releases steam. (Won't life be hell for koenig when jet flight becomes an established fact?) Northrop's "wing" would thrill any avid stf follower as well. Noticing the deserved row over Degler's presence in the FAPA, I wish to wash my hands of any apparent connections through having a letter published in one of the Cosmic Circle publications. I merely got the old urge to emit some blah, and these so-called Futurian journals were the only thing I was receiving. Realizing I've caused some trouble for Miss Bradleigh (who I'll take at her word as to being an existing entity despite any aspersions by Speer) I wish to tell the puritanistic Raym that I certainly meant no harm by my letter, and have been assured by some postal friends that the letter in itself was of no harm whatsover. Because of the fact that Miss Bradleigh has been serupulous in her prudency with the letter sections, the cutting of my letter and entailing remarks in-advertently caused more harm than if a certain paragraph had been left and no remarks made. Mind you, I'm not apologising, for I feel no harm has been done and that some mildly amusing chit-chat was the only result. I do think that Jody's work was a little too extreme and as I mentioned in the edited letter under question, it is far better to practise sex than to poke fun at it. Perhaps most of the GI's enjoyed it, nut my amusement followed the lines of one intrigued by the harmless patter of an inquisitive juvenile getting too curious for the safety of her virginity. From reports, however, it wasn't in a position to be damaged any longer. I don't mean to sound like a sage, but it was unavoidable, despite a mere brushing hello with 22. However, I am old enough to practice legally that virile four-letter Anglo-Saxon word, which I prefer as a verb rather than as the harmless army adjective, so I don't want the Cosmic Circle to think I've been corrupted by its extremely friendly womenfolk. Incidentally, cast "Clod" out! Phanny was terrific, but no comment because I'm running out of the space I alloted to myself. And Arcadia was a scream. Some others in this last mailing, such as Laney's magazine, were much above the FAPA average, even at the new standard. Speaking of
