Of Things and Such We are pleased to announce that a controversy of some sort has been aroused, dealing with the supposed sanity of fans, and we are more than happy to present two articles herein which respectively defend and refute the editorial position. Surely you must have something to say on the subject! Why not let us publish your opinions? Are you, or are you not, insane? Fandom will be delighted to know. . . Plans for the next issue are not quite clear. We have intended publishing an article in defense of fem fans, in reply to one written by Yhos which is supposed to appear in this mailing. However, the Gilbert and Sullivan bug has bitten us again, and we will not rest content until another N̲u̲c̲l̲e̲u̲s̲ ̲G̲i̲l̲b̲e̲r̲t̲ ̲a̲n̲d̲ ̲S̲u̲l̲l̲i̲v̲a̲n̲ issue has been inflicted on suffering fans. Which of these two will appear in the next mailing depends on many things — tine, our ability to squelch Widner and his rash temerity, and the strength and intensity of our love for Gilbert and Sullivan. If the latter triumphs, we doubt very much as to whether the number will be a dedication issue, most likely it will consist of generalities, and resumes, and such stuffery. And if it does not appear next time, it most certainly will in the mailing after, so suffer us not to hoar your groans. We warn you that we will not listen! It is very strange to us that Spear's S̲u̲s̲t̲a̲i̲n̲i̲n̲g̲ ̲P̲r̲o̲g̲r̲a̲m̲ does not rate more highly among the fans. Personally we find it one of the most interesting items in the mailings and we usually read it first. And as for Mr. Koenig's R̲e̲a̲d̲e̲r̲ ̲a̲n̲d̲ ̲C̲o̲l̲l̲e̲c̲t̲o̲r̲, well who of the fans — even those who have tasted Mr. Koenig's satiric wit — refuses to grant it its just praise? It, like Mr. Koenig, is tops. Word has just been flashed us from the publishing offices to the effect that we are approximately twenty sheets short of mimeo paper, we are most monstrously sorry, but since we have no more money and all the stores are closed anyway, a cheap grade of typing paper will have to be resorted to. However, since you are undoubtedly used to inconveniences of that sort from our "offices", we trust you will not curse us too roundly. But if you still would like to, why, go right ahead. . . We nominate Harry Warner, Jr. as the unsung hero of fandom. He, more than any other, deserves the title of "Number One Fan". There is no need to go into lengthy detail regarding the many things that he has done for fandom; you are all acquainted with them. Because he calls no attention to himself is no reason to take him for granted. Come on, give him some credit! We were amused to note that our last editorial disparaging the single-sheet affairs that prominent subscription mag editors are wont to inflict on the FAPA was met with great dislike. It seems that the editorial struck home... Yes? fansarenuts fansarenuts fansarenuts fansarenuts fansarenuts fansarenuts T̲h̲e̲ ̲N̲u̲c̲l̲e̲u̲s̲ is published at odd intervals for the FAPA by LuGerKus. and at present, ably assisted by Paul H. Spencer. Our editorial and publishing offices are located in the manse at 170 Washington Ave., West Haven, Conn. We will print anything of a controversial nature, excluding sex, that no one else has the courage to publish. Why don't you write that nasty article you've always been wanting to write? If it is any good, we shall love to print if for you. crazyfans crazyfans crazyfans crazyfans crazyfans crazyfans crazyfans crazyfans crazyfans
