The best yet

To paraphrase Coue, "Every day in every way VECTOR is getting better and better." Your June issue is the best yet. Cover-boy Mark Howard, especially de Winters' photo on page 31 (where he is fully clothed), is superb. What a beautiful face.

Marvin's interview with Michael Kearns was great-went right out to buy the book and Pickwick (LA's largest) was already sold out!

Your articles are getting better, too. Thanks for such good reading and interpretation of the gay scene. Long may your banners wave.

An author speaks up

First of all, I meant to write sooner to thank you for doing such a nice job with A Day at the Beach. It certainly was pleasant to see my name at the top. And, by the way, speaking of qualityKarl Maves' Sweet Rosewell O'Grady in

the Feb. issue is not only one of the best stories you have ever published, but the illustrations and layout were absolutely perfect-there's hope for gay literature and there is even, thanks to you, a forum where gay stories can be presented in a fresh and delightfully witty way. Thank you. Thank you.

Some disagreements

I wish to compliment you on the June issue of VECTOR. It is simply the best I have ever seen. Don't know how to praise it enough.

Despite some disagreements with the philosophy of the article (which is really neither here nor there) I especially want to thank you for the article by Ruben Vasquez. I'd really like to see more really serious articles along that vein. Again, my compliments. Jack Trujillo Palo Alto, Calif.

Progress in this state

My compliments to your magazine and to S.I.R. for the great progress it has been making for the communities of this state.

Hope springs eternal

Just a note to say how impressed I am with the quality of the writing and the subject matter of VECTOR in the past few months. As a life member of S.I.R. I have been disenchanted with this organization as it became irresponsible and meaningless. Perhaps there will be a revival. Hope springs eternal!

If you are interested I would consider writing an article for you called 'When You're Alone" and directed to the large group of the shy but competent professional group of gay men in San Francisco. (and the U.S.), who can find no easy way to meet people who make sense. In an
