MOSQUITO WING

   I took a look at YEAH magazine from the early 1960s at NYU Fales Library.
I wanted to copy one page for fifty cents, but they said it wasn't perfect
and they wouldn't do the darn one page.  I hate when stuff goes to Fales.

YEAH 4 (1962), fake ad on back of issue:
   American National Party
   Communism Must Perish!  Better Dead, than Red!

YEAH 10 (1965), "Killl for Peace" issue.

---------------------------------------------"YANKEES" BORROWING AGAIN

YANKEES CENTURY:
100 YEARS OF NEW YORK YANKEES BASEBALL
text by Glenn Stout
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company
2002

Pg. 19:  By 1904 "Yankees" was widely used, particularly by the _New York
Evening Journal_ and had become the name of choice among fans.


   My work, used again.  I received no money for the above, and I received no
credit, either.
   When the Yankees celebrate their 100th anniversary, you can be sure that I
won't be invited.  I'll never understand why.  A simple letter from George
Steinbrenner, in any scribble at all, saying, at the bare minimum, two words:
 "Thank you."  Too much to ask?
   Recently, the Yankees donated $250,000 to the Bronx.  That's nice.  It's
something they should do, and they get a tax deduction for it.  But they also
got free publicity on every tv station I turned to.  They also got a press
conference with the mayor of New York City.
   When my parents died, I also gave about $250,000 to New York CIty.  I
didn't get a press conference; the mayor abandoned me.
   I put a "Yankee curse" on the club four years ago, and this is the thanks
I get?
