...more importance to a journal like TIME, catering to people of some intelligence, to have such a simple, fundamental fact stated correctly, than to parade a lot of French kindergarten phrases, such as "c'est les fraises maudites" "tout Paris," "les dames Ameriquaines" etc.? I am keeping tab on you out of sheer love and hope for your artistic success. (Any damn fool can make money.) Dropped lines seem to be chronic with you now.
