Joe Losey was the subject of an interesting interview in a recent issue of The Npw York Times. Joe has lived in England for the past fifteen years. His newest creation is the British entry in the Cannes Film Festival. It opens in New York in April, and is entitled "Accident." Basically, it talks about human failures and betrayal. Joe says that he would like very much to make a film in the United States if it's important enough to warrant the dislocation. Joe is certainly a YIP in London, where a Joseph Losey Season has been held twice in three years at the National Film Theater.

John Conion writes: "Everything is about the same here at the N. H. State Hospital - no special news to talk about, but hope you do better with other classmates." ... Karl Michael takes the time to say: "Responding to your Vox Clamantis, you should know what I have been doing - coaching swimming - and better than ever this year. Our best dual meet season since 1950. Won 10, lost 2. The new swimming pool has been largely instrumental in keeping youngsters interested in Dartmouth, and matriculating, instead of going to other colleges as they once did. It's old news now, but Ken Moran and wife Ginny spent last Princeton weekend with us in the fall. Had a great time with them after a long time no see."

George Lane says: "I realize what a thankless job you have. (Amen, sez me.) In response to your appeal for news, I am enclosing an article which came out a couple of weeks ago concerning my election to the board of directors of my company. I was, of course, very pleased at this honor, particularly as we sold our business to Triangle on October 29, 1965, and the majority of the Plastic Wire and Cable board are now Triangle people. If this article is of interest you may feel free to use any part of it."
