The piece infuriated people and got more letters than Harpers ever had up to then (email was not predominant and indeed I doubt they had an e-mail to the editor) received in response to a single article, like 400 or so. All but like a dozen were vicious: how dare you etc etc you should sew your own clothes like I do etc.... Meanwhile no one has called and said, you know what, you were right.... So it shall ever be. I'm sorry for your troubles last year: that is a frightening place to be as I have reason to know. I'm glad things are getting better.
