I meant to say, after 1963 and the last _book_ publication, why didn't JDS
continue to place his stories in Shawn's magazine and just not republish any
of these stories in book format? Or was _Hapworth_ the "last favor"?
(Mutiny of entire Fiction Dept. Eds.?) Or was _Hapworth_ in reality the
last story ever finished?
(I know JDS had run-ins with magazine editors earlier on, and lamented
certain trials and tribulations of publishing in other magazines, but we're
talking
here about The New Yorker under the iron-gripe control of William Shawn.
And after
_Hapworth_ in '65, Shawn was still at the helm for 22 years.)
