Sir-In answer to A. R. D. Faire burn’s "Pass the Jam Please," M. Moody infers that the writer is a fool if he cannot see "the limited horizon clearly defined by popular taste," implying that if the free-lance journalist writes down to that level he will get his jam. He then finds fault with writers in women’s periodicals who do just that. "Vaporous nothings" pay, as Bing Crosby among others has found out, and I notice that M. Moody finds no fault with Bing for doing so. I uphold free writing and free reading and M. Moody and I are free to leave alone what we don’t like. It is usual though, isn’t it, for the exclusive few to pay more for exclusive goods.
