She writes in one Bulletin: "I try to keep from editorializing in the Bulletin, but I guess is's clear that one thing I'm for is candidness. Let yourself be known!" She is scornful of people who write to her without giving their return addresses, and those who come to see he secretly and are afraid to tell people that they take drugs for fear of losing their jobs.

The season's greeting on the advertised coupon reads: "May visions of sugar cubes dance through your head." She reports that about 30 people responded to her offer, but she was dissappointed in the outcome of this experiment.
