Paul,
And I recall Alexander repeatedly circled around events to try and prove
that NO substantive writing exists beyond what is published. I don't think
I agree with that. But really am not sure re the true shape or number of
the manuscripts.
One thing that always puzzled me re JDS's stance re publishing was that it
seemed directed at BOOK publishers. Couldn't he have gone on like he did in
the 1950's and publish directly and only in the pages of Shawn's New Yorker
and never bother to turn them into books? Or was _Hapworth_ the "last
favor" so to speak???

PS: If you're interested, I did a fairly longish post on the bio back on
Sept 16, 1999 ("The New JDS Biography") (in the Archives under "citycabn").
