Re: my column (Science & Man) GS } 3]

I have been pleased to note that you have been
picking this up during the last few months.

Since Santa Clara Cty. may have the highest
concentration of xexinixnkk technically trained
and interested readers in the country, this kind
of material should, indeed, have a worthwhile fol-
lowing. kxank

Many of my friends at Stanford have been com-
plaining (to me!) that the S.F. Chrozicle was no
longer carrying my articles, since I switched to
the monthly format. If you have formed a reason-
ably firm policy about using them as they appear
on the Washington Post wire-service, would you
let me know so that I can pass this on locally?
I might also be able to give you a few more days
lead time before release dates by sending you
duplicate copy direct.

I realize that you may not be able to answer my
question; and that in any case you have tozallow
for conflicts and decisions on particular dates.
You will also understand my own particular inter-
est in the availability of these articles in a
local market that can give me the best critical
feedback.

Yours sincerely,
