  • Wilderness House Literary Review 7/1 the Dream of the Black Topaze
    Wilderness House Literary Review 7/1 The Dream of the Black Topaze Chamber (Skylight Press, Great Britain, England) www.skylightpress.co.uk By Hugh Fox review by Pam Rosenblatt n 2011, the late Hugh Bernard Fox published The Dream of the Black ITopaze Chamber (Skylight Press, Great Britain). Also, in 2011 – September 4, 2011 – Fox sadly passed away. This short 110 page book reflects Fox’s writing, poetic, and anthropological finesse. Also, in 2011, Mr. Fox published three other books: e Lord Said Unto Satan (Post Mortem Press, Cincinnati, Spring), Re- union (Luminis Books, Summer),and The Year Book (Ravenna Press, Summer). Mr. Fox was a writer, a poet, a review- er, an anthropologist, and, perhaps most importantly, a friend to people. He had friends all over the place. And he often wrote about his friends under different names in his books. Along with Paul Bowles, Ralph Ellison, Anaïs Nin, Joyce Carol Oates, Mr. Fox co-founded the Pushcart Prize for literature. He was published in the Small Press arena prolifically. Even though he had been very ill for years, Fox kept up writing reviews and books. Over the years, his book reviews could be seen in the late Len Fulton’s Small Press Review. From time to time, Mr. Fox would visit with the Bagel Bards on Saturday mornings at Au Bon Pain, Somerville. In 2006, Fox’s Way, Way Off the Road: The Memoirs of an Invisible Man was published by Ibbetson Street Press. I personally didn’t know Mr. Fox very well. I did often read his re- views in Small Press Review.

  • FAIR TRADE and the ART of PRESTIDIGITATION WALTER Adamst
    FAIR TRADE AND THE ART OF PRESTIDIGITATION WALTER ADAMSt A RECENT article by Professor Herman in answer to an article of mine on the subject of fair trade ' prompts this reply. Since the record speaks for itself, I do not propose to comment on Professor Herman's techniques of disputation. FAIR TRADE AND THE CONSUMER Professor Herman objects to my statement that the case against fair trade rests on highly questionable evidence. 2 He does not consider it meaningful and accurate to say that, so long as there is effective competition among manu- facturers, fair trade is not likely to prove injurious to the consumer, but con- tends on the contrary that since fair traded products "are frequently sold in markets of few sellers . significant factors are already at work tending to '3 reduce the effectiveness of competition." Competitive conditions and structural characteristics vary, of course, from industry to industry, and only a case-by-case investigation can yield statistically significant results. However, we do have fragmentary evidence which sheds considerable light on the extent of competition among fair traded products and between fair traded and non-fair traded products. First, it is noteworthy that there are 11,842 manufacturers of nationally ad- vertised, brand-name products in 43 industrial classifications listed by the Standard Advertising Register, and, as Table I indicates, the percentage of fair trading manufacturers in each of these broad classifications is by no means staggering.4 Although Table I probably understates the extent of fair trading (because it includes only broad industry categories), there is little evidence to support the contention that " 'it is nearly always impossible for one manufacturer to estab- lish a system of vertical price fixing unless he can be sure that his competitors will do likewise ....
