[Paul Mackin]

While Lineland was IMHO the poorest excuse for a nonbook I've ever
encountered, the Playboy piece was of a completely different order. Well
written and interesting. This is not to say it may not be biased and self
serving at least to some degree. Always a danger when a prominent name
is the subject especially if said subject ran off with the reporter's wife.
Of course even this latter complication is only part of the story as 
reported. We of course don't know the answer to any of this.

Lineland was a terrible embarassment for the p-list. Jules played
the list like a violin. Would he still be able to do so if he reappeared
today. I only hope lasting lessons were learned.
