EDITORIAL The Japanese say that Mount Fuji is rather small from close up, but looking at it from afar it appears gigantic.

Mrs. Prociuk feels that it was a mar velous opportunity for practically all of the world to voice its hurts, opinions, whatever. BETWEEN US & THE TELEPHONE. It seems there is a new fashionable criticism making the rounds today, and that is throwing nasty suspicions on per sons who visit the Ukraine. They are Labeled as spies, agents — whatever. It certainly must stem from the universal — "I am better than anybody" syndrome that inhabits a lot of people's minds. Anyone else who does things just a bit different is right away torn to pieces. I wonder, thinks, our writer Lubow Kalynowych, what the next sin will be. Perhaps having any relations at all in the Ukraine will cause raised eyebrows; or having blue eyes, or ..... OUR COVER November seems to bring memories of Lwiw, as January does of Kiev. It is of course November 1st, to be exact, which brings those memories.
