Norman Cousins signed this letter, typed on UCLA letterhead, to an

Typed letter signed "Norman Cousins" in blue ink. 1 page,
5½x8½, on letterhead of the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences
at the University of California, Los Angeles. July 6, 1982. Addressed to
Marcy Parman, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. In full: "Dear March, Many thanks
for your note and request to have an autograph and photograph. I can oblige you
with the former but, alas, I regret that I do not have any photographs to send.
Every good wise, Norman Cousins". Cousins (1915-1990) was editor of
the Saturday Review for thirty years (1942-1978), transforming it
from a struggling journal to an influential publication with 600,000
subscribers. He wrote dozens of books and hundreds of essays and editorials.
President of the United World Federalists and co-founder of SANE (National
Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy), Cousins crusaded tirelessly to reign
in the nuclear arms race and for international peace and social justice. Cousins
also believed strongly in the importance of a positive mental attitude in
combating disease, a view he promoted in his best-selling book Anatomy of
an Illness (1979). President Kennedy thanked Cousins publicly for his
role in promoting the test ban treaty (1963), and Pope John XXIII awarded him
his personal medallion. After retiring from Saturday Review, Cousins
taught medical ethics at UCLA. Adhesive residue along left edge. Folded twice
and unfolded. Otherwise in fine condition.
