    I am aware of this; they have a policy of not giving out members' names. I
have run into this when running a program (similar to yours in Miami, and
inspired by a different Miami program) on movies with Theosophical themes, I
attempted to find out if certain people involved with the film were TS members.
I was told that I would have to ask the people myself (and admit that it was
laziness that kept me from doing so).

    I finally got my copy in today's mail, about half an hour ago. I have
already read it, from cover to cover, and I thank you for sending it. This
message is already getting too long, and I want to CC it to theos-l anyway, so I
will comment on the ACT newsletter in my next message.
