From The Passenger Lounge By You [[writing in illustration]] EDITOR SOUTHERN STAR [[end illustration writing]] SORRY ABOUT THAT COVER. SEE THE EDITORIAL PAGE FOR A COMPLETE EXPLANATION. THE ARTICLE YOU MENTION IS EXCELLENT STUFF AND WILL BE IN THE THIRD ISSUE. MANY, MANY THANKS. First off, then, I was both pleased and disappointed with the STAR. After seeing Jenkins' other efforts, I don't see how he could have perpetrated such a thing as the cover. I believe it's inexperience rather than bad art, because Jenkins drew those other pictures I saw, too and they were swell. He just has to get used to using less detail! The general set-up of the magazine was good, and the typing on the whole wonderful. The margins -- perfect! Only three misspelled words noted, and only five typographical errors -- two in my own STAR PORT. Curse you, Jack Dalton! The editorial was well done, and the acknowledgements neatly presented. Sure enough, Joe, the whole editorial was dignified and business like and appealing. Here's another kick ---- and a LOUD ONE! Quit breaking up the articles, carrying them from page to page, continuing from here to there and back. Especially NEVER continue an article on a page BEFORE it begins. My Gawd! You'll never get a pro-editor job that way. I like the idea of the state and the subject, as "Maryland" and "Article", being presented along with title and author. Very new -- very clever! Enjoyed Warner's adventures in re-reading, but then, I always enjoy warner. His tastes and mine are remarkably similar. (Continued------------------) THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL was VERY good and VERY well-written. Congratulations, Joe! You've got me convinced, and I'm really a hard person to convince when I have always entertained such strong preconceived notions about a thing as I have about the general absurdity of graphology. FROM THE CHICAGO ROCKET FIELD I didn't care for. Sorry, and no offense to Korshak meant. He wrote a very interesting news article, but it was interlarded with too much "I" stuff and besides, THE STAR is a Southern magazine. What the hell do we Southerners care about the entirely personal adventurings of a bunch of Chicago fans. I know I"m not broadminded in this respect, but it's MY opinion. Probably nobody else. I'll almost bet that I'll be put in my place by a bunch of fans claiming it's the best thing in the magazine. Oh, well! THE TELECASTER, good! Enough said. Neat setup, and Hanson made just the kind of speech needed of the president of a really serious purposed organization. Huzzah to him. How different from you know who! THE STORM LOVER. Phewwwwwww! THE MUNSEY PANORAMA. Wonderful idea and something
