news editor at the time. I don't know if that is helpful to you. If yes I can email it to you. The John Kenneth Galbraith review in New York magazine I thought was extremely relevant. In it he says:"The story of Vesco has now been written by Robert A. Hutchison (Vesco, Praeger). It is good. One is braced for a rush job: Hutchison has been painstaking in his research. He also writes well with just the right note of contempt for all concerned.… Hutchison is an honest man. He knows that Vesco is a lousy character with lousy friends – a child of his particular time. He does not try to make him otherwise…" I also have a copy of a letter Galbraith wrote to Mrs Miriam Klipper, Praeger's editor on the book, in which he states: "I have just finished reading the Vesco volume by Hutchison. It is altogether an excellent job, a marvellously thorough piece of research, well-written and, with all else, a truly horrifying story. I would happily give you a much merited word of praise. However, I've been sufficiently impressed by the book that I've asked Clay Felker if I could have a page to review it in New York magazine, and he has agreed…" I can also email you a copy of Galbraith's letter if required. I would like to add that Amazon in its page about the book includes two customer reviews which I found encouraging. One is headed: "A must read for fans of who's who in White Collar crime." The other is headed: "Still timely nearly forty years later." Both I found reassuring comment of the books ongoing relevance. If you have other questions and/or reservations, please do not hesitate. Regards, Robert

never seen a proper use of blanking before (ie. outside of vandalism), so it was very strange and I reacted too aggressively (disregarding AGF and such). I apologize for that. Also, just to note, it wasn't your behavior in particular that seemed terse or anything, but the whole situation, especially with the other AFD, and that I genuinely didn't know of the history of the issue so it was a bit like walking into a hornet's nest.
