    At no extra charge for the next sessions, Dr. Raft hereby permits you
    to express your true feelings about the New Yorker issue
    in which Updike's essay was originally published.

      The cover of the FEBRUARY 6, 1960 issue
      of The New Yorker is one I would kill
      to have a copy of because it also celebrates
      my parents' wedding anniversary
