Gentlemen:

I have begun to rely heavily on the candor and honesty of ONE'S book reviews and feel greatly disturbed by your sponsorship of GAY BAR. I cannot recall reading a duller, more stupid or unnecessary book. The author does not even comprehend the actual subject matter of her pamphlet, for a far more suitable title for her very small effort would be, "Ain't I Cute?" I am certain that ONE's promotion of such a low grade manual of selfappreciation has done your book department irreparable harm. So far as I can discern, the book begins and ends with Dr. Baker's intelligent and enlightened introduction.

Dear ONE:

One of these days I'm going to break a long silence over the head of Miss L. of San Francisco, who thinks it a crime for a homosexual to fix upon some young and innocent (innocent the woman says, as if the rest of us were guilty) and tell him they ain't no Santa Claus and rabbits don't lay Easter eggs. Miss L.'s other thoughts are so cogent that it's a pity she gets a little mixed up at just this point.

Teachers are in a business that is replete with paradoxes. A teacher is constantly striving to give away his capital, his stock in trade, the knowledge that is at once so precious and so generally scorned by those to whom it is offered. Perhaps then we should not be surprised at the paradox that we who have no children are diligent in giving youngsters the wisdom that they need and sometimes yearn for while the natural protectors, their parents, exert every power or influence at their command to hobble and blind the kids.
