  JOHN KENTO N, who attended Brown University, majored in English, and was pres-
  ident of the Literary Society, has had a rude awakening in the real world: he is one of
  four editors at Zenith House, a down-at-the-heels paperback publisher in New York.
  Zenith has 2% of the paperback market and is ﬁfteenth in a ﬁeld of ﬁfteen paperback
  publishers. All of the Zenith House personnel are worried that Apex, the parent cor-
  poration, may decide to put the house on the market if there isn’t a sales turnaround
  in the calendar year 1981...and due to Zenith’s poor distribution network, that seems
  unlikely.
  On January 4th of 1981, Kenton receives a query letter from CARLOS DETWEILLER,
  of Central Falls, Rhode Island.
