Sir: Having received my copy of issue 337 today at noon, I took the first opportunity to repair to a quiet stall next the windows and perused Strategist at my leisure, the better to absorb all the subtleties and nuances therein. Bravo and huzzah and BtG, by George! Seeing my old friend Augustus (Oggie, we called him back then) was a most pleasant surprise; there was a certain moistness to my eyes as I recalled the times we misspent together in our youth. But that photograph is not a good likeness of him, and instead called to mind nothing so much as his more fastidious and clean-living brother Enzo. Those were the 70's, you know. The world was a much different place back then. Enzo was shot down and captured by the North Vietnamese, and forced to play Marlon Brando in their stage production of Heart of Darkness.

Your humble and obedient servant etc.,

John Kula
