User-Contributed Transcription and send on to them the rest for their comment. In other words, I am to become a secretary for my own magazine. I don't have to tell you how disturbed I am about all of this. I have actually lost sleep over it. The irony of it is that if it were not for Max Baird I would have let the magazine die after four issues back in 1968. And if Stephens had not have decided to subsidize it this fall I am quite certain that the magazine would have just not come out again. Now, faced with the afrontery [sic] of Stephens College and their sophmoric,[sic] intellectual bigotry - I am all angry and upset about the threat to my position as Editor, founder and Princess to Open Places. I can't see how I can continue with Stephens. I am just going to have to withdraw O.P. from their clutches. Perhaps I am being overly dramatic. I tend to respond with my whole being to everything and this has been very upsetting for me. I had thought that I hd finally worked up to something. That I had won a real coup with Stephens. They were never interested in me. They were just concerned to take over my magazine.
