page 3. ".....with jaundiced eye" FALLING PETALS: I liked this much better than most of your recent offerings, Larry. But what I would like best is to see a return to something like some of the old Golden Atoms. B.T.: Having perused their words, I suppose I really MUST remember them, but the hardest to forget is the "Unfunny Last Laff". Ha! a: The Time Travel Tale was really a masterful analysis. It particularly interested me because time travel has always struck me as one of the most interesting stf concepts. For goshsakes give us more on some of the other phases of time travel. PHANTAGRAPH (Jul-Aug 45): "Invitation" seems to make the prospect of consuming the Portugee sound appetizing---in a nauseating sorta way. "He who would be all things to all men will be nothing to anybody" might be considered with profit by many I've known. PHANTAGRAPH (Sep 45): That's one viewpoint. PHANTAGRAPH (Oct 45): The comment at the end no doubt expresses a comforting philosophy. On the other hand, maybe it is the nature of things that the doomsayers must sometime have their day---and who can say when that day will be? Are Wells' recent views simply what might be expected in the way of reaction from a moribund Utopian? Or has his more extensive thought on the future of man led him inevitably to such a gloomy conclusion? BROWSING: "Leeds Scenario" muchly enjoyed. Book stuff interesting, informative, and appreciated as usual. Willmorth has told me many nice things about you and your collection. Wish I could meet you someday. TIMEBINDER: I'm inclined to be in sympathy with Widner's ideas as expressed in The Philosophy of The Dilettante. Chauvenet's lengthy exposition was much enjoyed.

His article is definitely thought-provoking and worthy of a great deal of consideration. The cover, aside from the drawing, could draw forth considerable comment, but, for once, I shall manfully refrain. TALE OF THE 'EVANS: So you do a little "sounding off". And right back at you comes an echo. To you, and many others who may share your feelings on the matter, it would be well to point out that a little of that "deep thinking" is indicated before considering the
