Page 2 RAIN January 1982 ATTENTION!! ATTENTION!! All you librarians and mailbox watchers might want to note that there will be a longer-than-usual delay between issues next time. This is not a mailing problem. Our combined February/March issue (Vol. VIII, No 5) will be coming out in late February. Nothing to worry about— just some time for us to work on some other projects and regain our damaged sanity! —The Rainmakers P.S. Speak for yourself, John! —MR Dear You: I like seeing news on Native American resistance to the hard social path with its energy use implications. Lovins, Illich, Tom Bender, Lappe and Collins, Henderson are my favorites in your magazine. The two most important issues to me now are nuclear disarmament (and no nuclear power plants, too) and topsoil. This country has lost 40% in 50 years. Please review Soil and Civilization by Hyams sometime. I have Rainbook and Stepping Stones and like themn lot. Bioregions: I would like to see a lot of articles on them and ending nation-statism. Some Wendell Berry and Gary Snyder would be nice too. Keep up the good work. A friend, Larry Shultz Bradford, NH PS. “Paraguay Lost" was a great article. RAIN: I love your magazine and feel it is a very important publication. I especially like the feminist and non-racist perspective of the articles. Thanks. Nancy Metheson Helena, MT Rainpeople: I'm making use of your excellent magazine (finally). 1 just want to say "keep it up." It's very good and current. I hope it makes you happy.

Grateful! Patryc Spanos Newport, NH Dear Friends: Receiving and reading RAIN is a real joy for us here in Juba.
