First, Happy New Year to readers everywhere. Second, kudos to those who presented and chaired the two "Pound and Nationalism" panels at MLA in Toronto. The second panel left a question in my mind: Sarah Holmes spoke about Pound's foreign correspondence to US politicians, and I wondered, Did Pound ever vote by absentee ballot? The issue strikes me as an important one to those who work on his political involvement. Cheers, Jon Ausubel
