Notes & Asides

Dear Mr. Buckley:

Last month I was sunbathing on the campus green at Brown University and discovered the following: with a small amount of suntan lotion, moderate pressure for ten minutes, and otherwise very little effort, your magazine cover transferred in full color onto my skin. I am wondering if you could print the magazine title backward, so as to transfer properly as a readable “tattoo.” I think it would be a big hit here on the East Side.
