He tries to make each issue lively rather than pedantic. The jokes tend to be lame: Primus: "Noah Webster optime Anglice locutus est." Se-cundus: "Ego quoque possem, si meum proprium dictionarium scripsissem."* But the fiction sometimes has its excitement, e.g., a recent story entitled Cadaver Absens (The Missing Corpse). Although many prospective advertisers (books, crayons, even liquor) have expressed interest, Warsley has held to a no-advertising policy; he thinks that...
