Being raised on o form in Tennessee, he gets lots of hard work and even if he never touches a weight or hears about a protein pill, will probably grow up to have a magnificent build.. Commercial prints not available, but please let Physique Pictorial know if you feel prints of such youthful subjects would have inspirational value to other young fellows.

......Letters from Readers. (FELLOW ILLITERATES, TAKE NOTICE!) "I would like to say a few words about the general style and tone of your anti-censorship tirades. I do not know at which intelligence level you are directing these articles, but I would predict that they have the most effect on the lower strata of our social, educational, and financial orders. In 95% of these articles the judge is biased, the jurors are corrupt, the lawyers are incompetent, the testimony is perjured, the arresting officers are perverted, and the punishment is crippling. Yet in very few, if any, of these editorials is there any absolute proof that the charges made by your editorial staff are true. Either the persecuted is a personal friend of the PP editor or, due to the proximity of the trial to Los Angeles, it is inferred that PP had a supposedly unbiased observer at the trial. Never is there sufficient identification of the particular case under question to allow interested parties to investigate the trial records and verify your editorial charges for themselves. ....? Then too, your grammar, wording, and general editorial style greatly detract from the quality of the article. In short, your editorials cannot paint a very convincing picture of authenticity for the eyes of your more highly educated and intelligent readers". J.E.S. Los Angeles 28, Calif.

Editor's note: Highly articulate J.E.S. has probably voiced here thoughts on many readers minds. PP's editor has no intention of being a martyr and hasnt the finances for an armored car and bodyguards, hence specific names are omitted in our "tirades", though such information is always available for responsible parties who can and will take effective action. Too, more than 90% of our magazines are distributed out of our local area where such names would be unknown anyway and no effective good could be done by their publication. And again, in exposing the wicked, we might bring embarrassment and unpleasantness to the innocent-and anyway, it is the sin and not the sinner that we despise. REGARDING OUR GRAMMAR. We attempt to use a progressive form of grammar, spelling and style--we hold the perhaps naive belief that the purpose of language is to express ideassometimes"rules" must be broken to do this effectively. Now we aren't trying to defend here the numerous typographical errors, occasional hideous misspellings that sometimes slip through, but the general tenor of our correspondence leads us to believe that we are getting across to many, many thinking people. We dont mind at all having the strict grammarians point out our departures from established rules, because we want to "break the rules" knowingly and not through ignorance, and unlike certain of our critics, we realize we are quite far from perfect. So when you think we've pulled a boner, please give us details of how you feel it should have been done.
