Under no circumstances do the Editors forward letters from readers to other persons nor do they answer correspondence making such requests.
POINTS OF VIEW Gentlemen:
I am not renewing my subscription to ONE Magazine. The contents and its point of view have deteriorated so much in recent years that I can no longer believe it serves any constructive purpose, but only tends to confirm the prejudices of those whom it is supposed to enlighten.
The tone of the Magazine seems to me to have degenerated into one unsavory whine for license and none of the stories, verse God save the word! or articles can do other than further strengthen the idea of the unfriendly that the only thing homosexuals are after is someone to get into bed with.

I consider "Tangents" the most worthwhile part of your Magazine, replete with information and biting. wit. It would be a great loss if it were discontinued. The book reviews are fine and of course, the editorials are tops. Keep up the good work.

Dear Sir:
I've been reading your Magazine for years and "Tangents" has been one of the most valuable and worthwhile parts. I do have one complaint and that is have some news of the East and Midwest as there are other cities besides New York and those in California. What about Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, etc?
All I know about Cleveland is that the police don't mess too much with us and at the same time they don't mess with the young dirt that hangs out on the Mall. Apparently it is OK for them to rob, beat someone up, etc.

The arrogance displayed in your recent letter is astonishing. Mr. Masters' work speaks for itself and has been well-received by major authorities in the field.
I have been publishing books in the areas of psychiatry, psychoanalysis and sexology for thirty years. It would be interesting to know what qualifications you possess for passing judgment on our books.
Certainly the record of ONE does not suggest any particular knowl-
