Yes, it's still I. I couldn't manage to corner Harvey soon enough to get him back in the swing of things so you will all have to bear with me another issue. Bob started working for The Nation in December, but is raring to to go now in great style, i.e., if you are willing to help him along with plenty of letters of "Glad to have you back, Bob." He asked me to send along any letters that I might have left over so that it would help him get started. I couldn't help but smile to myself when he asked that. What letters. I hope he is able to charm more replies than I did. I'm sure that he will. In case any of you would like to write him, and I hope you all will, he is home at 14 East 77th St., New York City. I shall now reach into Old Mother Hubbard's cupboard and see if I can do any better than she did, Ah! some clippings from Ye Ole Loyale Alumni Office.
