World Student News, a magazine gently trying to promote peaceful coexistence and socialist politics. The magazine carried a pen pal section. A vision of wonderful, colorful new stamps for my collection prompted my decision to submit a pen pal request for correspondents. I was living in New Orleans then as a graduate student at Tulane, but at that moment taking a year off.

I responded dutifully, but truthfully didn’t feel much connection, and those correspondences quickly faded away.
