Well, yeah. These are among the kinds of things I was thinking
of as factors having nothing to do with Pound. But perhaps I should
have said 'not particularly related to Pound's reputation,' since Pound
himself certainly was concerned with at least some of them.
And yes, these 'journalists' of whom I was speaking do unfortunately
include a few people who think of themselves as English professors.
Anyway, you've incited me sufficiently that I may just shoot off a
letter to Post Book World this week. We'll see what happens.
