[Imc] Estabrook's _News From Neptune_

[C. G. Estabrook]

Michael--

Thanks for your concern (I think).  My arrangement with the Octopus is
that my column and Jerry Landay's appear in alternate weeks.  (Of course
there's no real obligation on either side.)  It also appears on 8am.com
and counterpunch.com.

Best regards, Carl

PS: I like the Attlee quote.
