I. No. 49 OUCH! Thought you'd never get it didn't you? Well so did I. I have a deal with the printer to get the finished magazine to him on the 15th of the month preceeding the date of publication and due to the press of other things I was about a week late. But he had all types of trouble with printers, bind- ers etc. so that I didnt get it until about 5 weeks after it was due out. On top of that the artist, one of our "dependable" members who had promised to do a cover for me dropped out of sight so that added to the delay and finally the printer just had to dummy something up as a makeshift in order to get it out at all. I'm sorry for you and for me and I've also been swamped with letters of inquiry, but there was little I could do after it was in the printers hands.

II. CALIF. SALES TAX: It would be greatly appreciated if subscribers living in California would remember that all items except TVia itself and Clipsheet (both periodicals) are subject to the 5% sales tax and would remit same with their order. With increase in post- age and taxes I can no longer just absorb them, so please pay me the tax as you would any other vendor.

III. CONFIDENTIALS SECOND ARTICLE: Thanks to all of you who responded to my urging to write to Confiden- tial about their scurrilous article last November. Probably most of you have seen the result. If you didnt I'm pleased to report that in a subsequent is- sue (I think it was dated March but not sure) they published a considerable number of letters all but one of which were from TVia readers. And you all did a great job of showing not only indignation but doing a good job of education. Of course the small minded editor had to ham it up with "cute" little comments
