enthusiastic and will contact the editor as soon as she returns
from vacation. Then she'll call me.
 
Call from <u>Barbara Weinstein</u>, who is an assistant to <u>Doris Bass</u>

would show. I asked him how he was progressing. He has preliminary
prices on the board and cover and it seems O.K. He is
