Letters: May 10, 1963

You would have been fairer to me, and more generous to tens of thousands of decent people, if you had recalled the gist of my piece, which was that the true spirit of Aldermaston and C.N.D. will survive all its snide misinterpretations, whether by anarchists from within or TIME from without.

Sir:

I have been a reader of TIME for nearly 20 years and never before have I written to you about any reports, but the report on the Aldermaston March in the April 26 issue was so good that I must say thank you. How nice to read a really sane report. More power to that reporter.

Sir:

The classified ad you mention [April 26] as the secret source of the epidemic of sick stickers sweeping the country is tucked away not only in the Village Voice (circ. 25,000), but also in the latest issue of the Wretched Mess News (circ. 97½ paid and 2,345 moochers).

We protest that you have overlooked our advertising pulling power, since our Wretched Research Department reports orders for 1984 sets of Mr. Hollis' stickers directly attributive to Wretched Mess advertising, leaving Village Voice with credit for only 16 sets.

>The Wretched Research Department may have miscalculated. According to Charlie Hollis, the $8.26 ad Underground Press placed in the Maypril issue of the Wretched Mess News has pulled no orders so far.—ED.
