Your splendid article on Alaska [TIME, June 16], with the cover showing the 49th star [with question mark] . . . gives warranted attention to the Territory of Alaska and its capable and energetic Governor, Ernest Gruening-energetic, advisedly, for he was recently my partner in tennis, and he plays a bang-up game with a Harvard accent...
