From Linda Phillips, Narrogin, Western Australia
Having read the tribute you published, I am reflecting on the death of Bernard Dixon, editor of Â鶹´«Ã½ from 1969 to 1979 (5 December 2020, p 26). I started reading Â鶹´«Ã½ as a very young child in the 1960s, and I well remember the improvements made by Dixon in the early 70s.
It is no exaggeration to say that the magazine changed my life for the better. In childhood, I was exposed to fringe religious views and my brain juggled creationist ideas against the science I read each week in the library. I am glad to say your magazine won out and helped me see the world as it really is, so my heartfelt thanks go to Dixon and Â鶹´«Ã½.
