Editorially
In this issue we are running the first half of something not originally written for the Lobster. It’s not that we’re short of copy, just that there is a lot of US material which we would like to recycle in this country, and this Marshall piece seemed like as good a piece as any to begin. We would be interested in reader’s responses to the idea of reprinting work which has appeared first elsewhere.
Meanwhile the word about the Lobster’s existence is slowly getting round. Opinion seems to be universally favourable.
Letters, articles, book reviews welcome. Send them to the address on the rear cover. Please indicate if a letter is for publication.
Sorry if having only half the Secret Societies and MacGregor pieces is irritating. What happened was we had decided to run Marshall’s piece and then, just before paste-up the MacGregor thing arrived and it seemed too good and too topical to ignore. But running them both together in full would have meant dropping other material which seemed worth putting out. Hence the compromise – or mistake – of the halves. If there are strong feelings about doing this (waiting two months for the second half of a story may be irritating) please let us know for future reference.
