The newsagents muttered\nsomething about 'a strike.'. As one might\nexpect. So I cdn't get an I.T.\n\nI did pick up the latest HIB. They\nprint my Keith Doyglas piece on their\nfirst review page and include me in their\nnotes on contributors: \"Ulster poet\nliving in London.\" Fair enough.\n\nLatest H.U. arrived yesterday,a\nbig 'double' issue. It contained a\nvicious attack on my friend Denis xxxxxx\nIreland's \"From the Belfast Jungle\" by\nnone other than J. Simmons - he founded\nthe H.U., as you know. Poor old Denis,\nwho was 80 recently,will be upset. He had\na hell of a job getting the book pub-\nlished and I for one think it's really\ngood - parts of it,esp his boyhood\nmemories of Belfast upper-class society,\nbrilliant. Simmons takes Hewitt and\nOrmsby (H.U. editor) to task for praising\nthe book elsewhere and tells them they\nshouldn't review every book that comes\n","Type":"Text"}}]
