Not the first time this has been done...I was most pleased with being
a subscriber to the Louisville issues. You know, pretty much, what to
expect. On the other hand, once the guiding force of Robert Whitney was
not longer part of the equation, things changed...for me they really
seemed to lose their sense of purpose when they issued a piece of Rod
McKuen!
Perhaps someone else might know, but I think Ward Marston is doing
something similar...
To answer your question...I would be interested for sure.
