Up front this time is a record of Carl Wessler's 1966 writing for Harvey as Part 66 of his bibliography, "Upon Reflection".  Somewhat enigmatic notations unless you're very familiar with their publishing of the time.  I'd estimate this is over 1000 pages of writing for the year (for only one of his clients), at $7 a page.

Under the Gun has letters from Al Salton and Nick Caputo, and as usual for Sheldon Mayer's April 1 birthday there's a sample of his work, a 3-page unfinished story circa 1975 meant for PLOP, "Behind the Door of Gregor's Grisly Grotto" and two finished unpublished pages from a circa 1981 Ronald McDonald story.  Snyder writes about finding unpublished inventory stories at DC during his time there and trying to get some of them into print.
