release over the Faith Levitt show on WISH-TV. I dont know yet whether the powers that be will per- mit its being shown. I was due to go to Youngstown Ohio for a radio show there the following day, but before I left I had gotten a letter from the pro- ducer that due to circumstances beyond his personal control they would not be able to have me as a guest. Of course chis only meant that the blue noses higher up the chain of command had thumbs downed the whole thing. It was probably "too con- troversial" or too "non-conforming" or something for the dear people of Ohio. Isn't it unfortunate that it is always just the ones that need enlighten- ment most who get the least of it, but of course that is why they need it so badly.

He took the shots accompanying this report. Jerry Williams handled the subject cold turkey with only a copy of the lecture leaflet and a copy of TVia to key him in before hand. He was very nice, very polite and very interested in it unlike so many of these interviewers who try to boost their own stock by trying to outwit and over- awe the guest--people like Joe Pyne. The show was a great success it seemed to me and the calls that came in were interested. We only got one of those "Virginia, do you believe in God?" type questions. Interestingly, one of the calls was from a woman whose husband was a TV and they had been happily sharing the subject for the past 20 years. It added
