Bill Andres, back from a Virgin Islands cruise, says to add Hank Stein to the list of lawyers who still go to the office. Art Nignwander may want to come off the list since a hundred of his dumped their tax returns on him. He says with one more "simplification" he'll want someone to do his own.

Len Doob is still producing, with a new book, Inevitability: Determinism, Fatalism,and Destiny.

It's inevitable to have to announce the recent deaths of Everett Bulkley, CarlBurton, and Seth Jewell.

Stan Piatt, with his undaunted work for "a safer and better world," responded to my April comment "if ever the twain could meet." Says Stan, "Have you noticed the profound changes in technology and attitude since the days of Rudyard Kipling in India and England?"

Nick Vincent endorses my recommendation of Charles Sykes's Prof Scam as a picture of the professor business. I'll loan my copy. Just ask. Nick and Dr. Bob Fairchild started practice at the same time. Nick shares Bob's ideas on preparation. They should get together.

John Moxon justifiably chides Art and me for using "his dues" to take sides in the "Review-administration wrangle." We confess, but can't keep still when we see the truth prostituted. We feel we're taking sides with Dartmouth. How many of us share John's objections? Let's hear.

Dud Orr, Bill Andres, and I, and the Hanover '29ers have visited with dozens of undergraduates and find them almost unanimously as proud and fond of Dartmouth as we were.

Here's a prayer for our 60th: Oh, Lord and guiding spirit of us all, Whose will we try all humbly to divine, Help us to cherish, let what may befall, Our brotherhood of Dartmouth '29.
