More on Juenger in English: Is it true that one would need permission from Klett to publish a translation of something from 1932 (if one used the original edition)? Does anyone know how to get in touch with Dirk Leach? Has anyone seen the volume _The Storm of Steel_, trans Paddy Griffith (London: Constable, 1994)? Well done? In print? (It's listed in John King's on-line bibliography on his webpage.) Does anyone know of English versions of some of Juenger's articles from the 1920s, especially things not taken up in the collected works? Many thanks!
