Hi - I have been speaking with Andy Clark about the book outlined below
- actually I was trying to get this message below through to the Henry
Wallace Insititute and Rodale Press, but don't seem to be having much luck
with the E-Mails I have . . . if you have any better contacts there, to
send through on, I would appreciate it enormously, or if there is a way of
distributing this message to people who might be interested. It has been a
huge amount of (unpaid!) work, and very interesting, but would be a shame
for it not to be seen by a wider audience I think.

Do you take freelance pieces for the Alternative Agriculture News - I have
a good feature on the overall "Organic Thrust" in Europe, since the green
aids were introduced, and would like to place it somewhere . . . are you
interested? Also how might I find other organic agriculture magazines,
who are interested in European coverage? I apprecitate your time, and
hope you are interested in seeing a couple of my stories - I can e-mail
them through with my CV, sincerely
