Content Dear Editor:<br/> <br/> What gives? On page 4 of the January <span style="font-weight: bold;">Ecphorizer</span> there's a prose piece by Delia DeSantis, "<a href="https://www.ecphorizer.com/EPS/site_page.php?issue=83&page=1247">Snow on the Roofs</a>." There is, however, no contributor's note on the author. When someone writes this well, I want to know something about them... Tell her we need to see more from her.<br/> <br/> <div style="margin-left: 360px;">Christopher Burdett<br/> Lilburn, GA<br/> </div> <br/> <span style="font-style: italic;">Sorry. We came up to production day for the January issue and discovered that we hadn't gotten a Contributor's Form from her. This has now been remedied. See this month's Contributors page. — Editor</span><br/> <br/> [line width="40%"]<br/> Dear Editor:<br/> <br/> Re "<a href="https://www.ecphorizer.com/EPS/site_page.php?issue=82&page=1237">Wanted: $4.5 Billion</a>" (December issue). This goes for one of my pet projects — that we should concern ourselves with the <span style="font-style: italic;">causes of war</span> and not the <span style="font-style: italic;">weapons of war</span>...<br/> <br/> I have often felt that if we spent 1/2 of the DOD budget on education, we may not need the other half. Such education would include major studies and cures of the cancer of war. I use "cancer" as I believe that war, like cancer, has many causes. But if we can identify and eliminate one cause then we have reduced the suffering accordingly.<br/> <br/> <div style="margin-left: 360px;">Roy Shaw<br/> Ashland, OR<br/> </div> <br/> [line width="40%"]<br/> Dear Editor:<br/> <br/> Re "<a href="https://www.ecphorizer.com/EPS/site_page.php?issue=82&page=1238">Is There an Afterlife?</a>" (December issue). Is there an afterlife — a life beyond the grave? Can you count how many before and after? (Ask a bald-headed blue jay).<br/> <br/> The statement "No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God" may be found in <span style="font-style: italic;">Luke 9:62</span>. Most plowing nowadays is done by tractor. Farms are good and farming can be fun. But don't look back — a bulldozer might be gaining on you.<br/> <br/> With regard to interferences and influences, a poem essays this thought:<br/> <br/> <div style="margin-left: 160px;">All things by immortal power <br/> Near or far, <br/> Hiddenly <br/> To each other linked are, <br/> That thou canst not stir a flower <br/> Without troubling of a star.<br/> </div> <br/> Francis Thompson wrote that.<br/> <br/> <div style="margin-left: 360px;">Waldo J.
