Trivia

• According to Richard Devine, former Editor-in-chief of Reader's Digest Australia, when he interviewed with DeWitt Wallace for the position of one of four issue editors for the US edition, part of the discussion turned to whether the Condensed Books should ever include the word "fuck" (one of the novels under consideration was the bestseller Love Story, which used the word liberally). Devine's response was that "any story you couldn't cut 'fuck' out of wasn't much of a story."^[1] Devine got the job.
