Recall that when R&T made their format change which included the 
departure of Mr. Egan and his wonderful writing, there was FOT 
discussion on the mistake the magazine was making.  Similar comments 
were made to these present feelings.  I saw it as a lowering of the 
journalistic standard and the pandering to a new market, i.e., the 
youth.  Mr. Egan was such an asset that his departure signaled my 
departure from 50 years of magazines in the attic.  Too bad, eh?
