the veteran New York editor is mistaken. Maybe she would not be<BR>able

no problem with it.<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>

<DIV>But it's arguable that it's precisely the influence of writers like Wolfe
that would prompt Hartwell to pick up "Wolfe" if he was writing today. No
past-Wolfe, no present market for Wolfe perhaps?</DIV>
