People and events

Abstract

YOU KNOW, of course, what happens when, epigrammatically at least, you have finished going round and round in ever‐diminishing circles. There is a parallel of a kind with copy dead‐lines for monthly library periodicals—in the sense that you start with the tightest possible production schedule, in order to carry the latest news, and then you start sending copy in to the printer earlier and earlier because it's so uncomfortable to have tight dead‐lines, until after a while you find yourself writing the August issue long before the January issue has even appeared.
