Allen could easily increase his budget for tropical fish and Oriental sculpture by following the path of so many of his colleagues: leaving low-paying Government work for high-paying private industry.

...authors, booksellers and critics does not excuse publishers for "producing the large volume of trivial, unimportant, inferior and downright unworthy stuff we do." He roasts his colleagues for handing out contracts to hopefuls who have never written novels and, worse still, for printing the results.
