To the Editors:

Unaccustomed as I am to writing fan letters, this one is requested and deserved.

Your first issue is remarkable—the finest collection of first rate reviews by unusually competent reviewers I have had the pleasure of reading in a long time.

May you prosper and survive by many years the settlement of the newspaper strike. If you can maintain the quality of the initial effort, you should quickly win an assured place not only in the metropolitan area but internationally.
