Dr Desmond Morris
Our Director, Dr Desmond Morris, has written an important and fascinating book 'The Naked Ape' which has had widespread success even before publication.
Owing to the present system of taxation which is particularly inconsiderate towards authors and artists in general we are now faced with the probability that he will be forced to move out of this country if he is to retain more than an absurdly small fraction of his legitimate and in this case unprecedented earnings.
It seems unlikely that this situation can be avoided and in consequence we can only congratulate him on his good fortune and prepare with great regret to part company.
A further announcement of future plans for the ICA at this crucial time will appear in the next Bulletin.
