strange interludes 33 which colors sold best but the information would be of limited value at the best, and that only after careful evaluating of the other factors - mainly the names on the cover. I thot I had caught Russell in an error but it seems I thot too soon. Thinking is an uncertain process with me anyway. But the details are as follows: He says that tadpole eggs will not develop in chlorinated tapwater. When I lived in Sumter, SC, I raised more tadpoles from eggs to frogs than you could count on an adding machine, and every one of them was raised in tapwater. But just as I prepared to write him and ask him what the blinkin' blue blazes, I remembered that Sumter's water comes from artesian wells, so pure it needs no treatment. I been gypped... I liked the quote from Li-Po and someday when one thing and another aren't quite as they are now, I'll write an essay on the last two lines. NEW YORK - 4000 A.D. is definitely good verse,and in some lines waxes slightly poetic. Best lines are 13 and 14. The figures of speech suffer from having been worn out years ago. i.e. - "Old Time was young and strong" - "weary ghosts of long ago" -"Impassive skies" - to mention a few of the more obvious ones. To my unpracticed eye,line 13 looks more or less original, and it is for this reason more than any other that I chose it as best. Not that originality is necessary for good verse because it isn't. Only when verse pretends to be poetry, must it be original. I refuse to comment on WEREWOLF tonight, except that I like it. Milty: Pegler is narrow minded. I have spoken. A liberal is a guy who is 1. tolerant, 2. broad-minded, 3. likes people. I have spoken. Webter defines liberal as: not narrow or contracted in mind; broad-minded -- having a tendency toward democratic or republican instead of monarchial or aristocratic. If democracy isn't ideally based on man's love for man (and woman), I'm no democrat. And I am a democrat. Not politically, because I adhere to no political party. Political parties are for people who are not intellectually matured enough to form their own decisions. But to return to our muttons (as the French used to say), Webster also defines liberal as: not bound by orthodox tenets or established forms in political or religious philosophy. This is simply another way of saying "broad-minded" but if we stick in "other people's"in front of "political," we have an excellent definition of tolerance. There's really very little difference between the two concepts. How in Hell can a man be intolerant and still be liberal? I have always thot of Milty as being rather tolerant and even now tho he says he is not. I'm far from convinced. Perhaps he doesn't know what tolerance is. If he is intolerant, so much the worse. I have not had the honor,in my narrow existence, to meet anyone who was tolerant, broadminded and liked people, and who was not a liberal. I have never met a liberal who was not a walking example of all three of these qualities. Socalists, yes, and a communist or two, and several anarchists, plus no end of indefinite labor organizers to whom tolerance was a sure sign of cowardice. Such people are not libearls. They are just as unliberal as the horrible syndicate of international Jewish Bankers, quote and unquote. The fact that they are unliberal in what might be a liberal cause doesn't make any difference. Liberal, from Latin liber - free. And it still means
