your science fiction leader i like it hi m i've just been looking at the past work you did on the science fiction leader and i think it's really good and should not have been so thoroughly replaced by something far less elegant if you've been watching that article you may have seen that i have been trying myself with hayford peirce's help to create a readable but useful leader before i went back through the historical versions and i have essentially highlighted the idea of the novum the novelty the change the difference the strangeness that you spoke about although i got this from a rather different source and have possibly put it less poeticaly i see you are an australian academic so i may have bumped into you on some campus or other i'd be very pleased if you would come back and help me with the sci fi leader or heap scorn on it or whatever see ya
