Re: EJ - Evola and a question

[mark.grzeskowiak@utoronto.ca]

I don't know if this has already been mentioned, but I'm pretty sure Evola
published an article in one of the first issues of "Antaios. Zeitschrift 
fuer eine freie Welt", the journal that Juenger co-edited with Mircea
Eliade between 1959 and 1971.  If anyone is in need of specifics, I'll
check-we have a set here at the library.

With best regards,
