Although he did not rule on the last three counts, including the charge that Lattimore read secret documents, Youngdahl doubted if any of them could stand...
...swallow does not make a summer," said Babcock, "but I pass it on to other young hopefuls for what it is worth. Certainly there is an indication that selection is made on some other basis than pure merit. But I hold no grudge against Poetry. I just selected a poem I thought was good and sent it to a well-known magazine that I thought worthy of testing. This is my last attempt at hoax...
