　　So,  beginner that I was,  I marched into the office  of  Los  Angeles  Magazine   (without  an appointment)  and asked most graciously¹ to see the editor!  The receptionist said,   "Nothing doing!"Well, she smiled.

　　Obsession²,  obsession.  I returned a week later.    "May I see the editor or can I make an appointment?  Same response: "We simply can t

　　have the editor meet with every writer who walks in off the street.   How would he get any workdone?"

　　Now the obsession really takes hold.  I mustget in to see that editor.   He will melt when hehears my pitchTM. But how, how? The wonderful,kooky TM idea takes form.  I 'U make my friends buy subscriptionsTM to the magazine.

　　初生牛犊不怕虎的我没有预约就径直走进《洛杉矶杂志》社的办公室，以最优雅的态度要求见编辑!接待员说：  “不行!”好吧，至少她对我笑了。

　　执著啊，执著。一个星期后我再次来到那里。  “我可以见见编辑或者预约一下吗?”同样的回答：“我们不能让编辑会见从大街上走进来的每一位作者。如果那样的话，他如何去做自己的工作呢?”

　　现在，妄想真的占据了我的心。我必须进去见编辑。他一定会被我的想法打动的。但是怎么办，怎么办?那个奇妙的、疯狂的主意就这样成形了。我要让我的朋友们订阅他们的杂志。
