Dear Tim Romano, I have no difficulty in retracting my statement about Lewis. I did say that no other American besides Pound demonstrated such strong support, amounting to a full commitment to fascism. Another one, I said, was PERHAPS Lewis, and I made that assessment based on the letters which Pound and Lewis exchanged over the issue of fascism. But I have no real stake in the argument. It seems to me that the issue of Lewis' interest in fascism is subject to debate. But if you wish, I will retract the statement. I will also apologize for speaking about Lewis with scant knowledge of the man, other than what I have gathered from his relationship with Pound. Sincerely yours, Wei ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
