| Quotation | I was going to burn some wastepaper, but it is too dry a day. Sent out to the girl [Donna Mae Miller] at the University of Arizona the review of African Genesis ["Man Is a Gorilla with a Gun"] she asked for. I was not able to ignore this request. There is something good and special in this small, unprepossessing attempt at running a magazine (of all places in a Department of Physical Education for Women). I don't quite understand it, but there is something there. A sense of genuineness and humanity in spite of the cliches. |
