If what your trying to say is you appreciated our Pound/ Wall Street 
issue, thanks and I'll pass it along. But no member of the FP staff 
would support your assessment on my work or the effort behind it, and 
they've been around it for at least 20 years and in most cases 30 or 
more years. Joe Brennan and I are the fire source for the Poundian voice 
in the mag. We cut our teeth on Pound through Rudd Fleming who visited 
Pound for 9 years at St. E's and translated Greek drama with the poet. 
Fleming for all of his genius would have been the first to concede that 
'those who can do, those who can't teach.' Sometimes its just a mater of 
being willing to take the risks with so many assholes out there. Though 
that's but a minor nuisance. Best, CP
