Re: SLPAD - 128 - “Entropy” - 1

[Mark Kohut]

I think Robie must have.....maybe depends on when John Crowe retired from
it in 1959....

the Spring issue was April ....the Winter issue was January....and
a periodical like that has to work more than one issue ahead....

Tom says he wrote it in 1959.

I met Robie Macauley....He worked at Houghton Mifflin when I did....I knew
of his own work
but I did not want to gush....
