See, for example, the delightful compliment Newsweek 'paid the Atlantic's April issue." While it is a little sad to read how happy "Harper-Atlantic" could be come through recognition' by Newsweek (Richard Rovere calls News week the magazine of the policy makers, a position which The Atlantic held even after the editorship of Oliver Wendell Holmes in a more literary era) the sentiment of the card seems sincere and incontestable. There are many brave new magazines deserving a salute, even if but ave et vale-chief among them, the little magazines publishing poetry. NMQ regrets having to turn down good verse simply because of space restrictions and is honestly deligpted that there are new outletS for poems.
