Sirs:
I believe SPORTS ILLUSTRATED will be of great service to American youth and to the American public.

Sirs:
It looks like a winner.

Sirs:
I have no suggestion other than to urge that future issues maintain the interest and standard of the first.

Sirs:
The thing that interested me was the large number of young men AND women who were waiting for the first copy to arrive. They had read about it and heard about it—and were really anxious to see it. I spoke to several of them and they think it is "HOT" and so do I.

Sirs:
It is much better than I had hoped for.

THE PRESS

Sirs:
I acquired a copy as soon as it appeared on the newsstands and have already told my office to secure it for me regularly.

Sirs:
What hit me hardest was your intuitive or deliberate emphasis on the basic emotions or primary passions that cut across all games, sports, pastimes and hobbies—concentrating on the "constants" like courage, character, competition and camaraderie.

Sirs:
I think the first issue is a knock-out!

Sirs:
When the new sports weekly was in the planning state, I was frankly skeptical. Volume 1, Number 1 has made a convert, out of me. It's a magnificent job.
