Mike, Perhaps, you were discouraged by comments from subscribers. A much greater number who replied were very positive about your idea. I withheld judgement except to note favorably about your belief that it would be beneficial for a wider audience to read HCR's Letter.

Mike, Perhaps, you were discouraged by comments from subscribers. A much greater number who replied were very positive about your idea. I withheld judgement except to note favorably about your belief that it would be beneficial for a wider audience to read HCR's Letter. A combination of your idea with my 2 cents calls for a PR project, for which subscribers may not be the right engine. I would like to see monthly essays by HCR widely distributed. Would she be interested? It would be another work load. An outstanding aspect of your idea, from my point of view, was to alert a major newspaper about the extraordinary source HCR would be for their national coverage. I see your effort as one by a consumer of news advocating that more Americans be exposed to the unbiased and masterly analysis of current affairs written by HCR. Communication of this nature need not be restricted to the NY Times. Network news operations, CNN, USA Today, Wall St. Journal, Washington Post, Politico, NPR, Time Magazine and US News & World Report are all good targets. A letter to each with a small sample of her work, would, perhaps, be a prompt to the right people who direct the news coverage for the company. For those interested in spreading LFAA, I think of that the history, journalism, government. political science and teaching departments of Universities/colleges would do well to consider the LFAA as part of the curriculum. These are the hopes of those of us wishing for a more educated and enlightened citizenry. Here's to that, Mike!

There is no other writing like "Letters from an American" Fern. It is the only synthesis of today in the context of the detailed history of yesterday.
I will just keep bothering all my friends by forrwarding and encouraging them to subscribe, plus all my family.
However, this is a tiny number of people and I worry that folks are not getting a clear picture of our current reality without "Letters".
