(urth) Interlibrary Loan

[PAUL RYDEEN]

Does anyone here have a Twitter account? That might be a better way to express our concern. It would have more visibility than a letter and we should get a response (a response would not be guaranteed with a letter).

Since Wolfe picked this editor, can we rely on his pick?  Even if Wolfe were alive, how much of the editor's influence would make it to publication?  And if the answer is the editor has a lot of sway, how many of his edits would the author notice on review?
