12/9/75 Dear Jack,

  Thanks for the note, the clippings, and for the nice things you said about our catalogue.
   To take the bad taste of Nixon et al. out of your mouth,  I've enclosed a copy of the underlined: best book I've read in a long time and one which I suspect will hit you - right between the eyes.   I've also enclosed a copy of my book review on it, which will appear shortly.  Let me know what you think of Sanford --  He's 71, has written 8 books going back some 40 years and has never "made" it except for his screenwriting period which was short-circuited by the House Un-American Activities Committee in the early 50's.

Stay well, Ralph
