NP: Q re Jung Order

[Allan Balliett]

Sorry, Mark, I was thinking of New Leaf distribution and their monthly
wholesale  catalogs where it didn't matter if it was a first book, the
smiling face of the author was the advertising image. Much the same goes on
in the advertising in the free at health food stores New Age tabloid
PATHWAYS (I think the smile is a "trust me " smile)

Just dealing with personal memory issues. AGE OF AQUARIUS I, of course,
remember hearing ad nauseum from 1967 on but I don't recall "New Age"
 being a term to conjure with until much later.

Further proof that I should be keeping a journal.

least were a few minutes ago
