LETTERS TO THE EDITORS

COVER: Sidney Bronstein

On the cover and in the center-spread of this issue the editors are pleased to be able to present three pencil sketches by West Coast artist, Sidney Bronstein. Previously, the cover of the September, 1962, Magazine also was his. At the Birthday Bazaar a year ago a small gallery of his oils, drawings and water colors created great interest among those attending. Mr. Bronstein has been a valued friend and literary adviser since ONE's founding, much appreciated for his encyclopedic knowledge of homophile literature in general and of 20th century French writing in general. He has a special fondness for the works of Proust, Gide, Cocteau, Peyrefitte, Sartre and Genet.
