Sir,
 
I've got a couple of pieces ready for submission.  They adhere to your desire that I address issues beyond the local.  One is a humorous spoof on public breast feeding;  one is a critique of Clinton's foreign policy.
 
Could you give me an idea of when you want each new piece?  If we established a calendar (a syllabus of sorts), I would be better able to give you what you want, when you want it.
 
Also, I need to know what you mean by TEXT FORMAT (I don't think we covered that in class!).
 
I look forward to hearing from you.  I will be out of town from Thursday thru Tuesday, but I'll be able to send you something prior to Thursday if you like.
 
Sincerely,
 
Will Anderson
