News Corp World Classics


Dear Mr Murdoch:

Due to our success with the new Citizen's Cut of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain we have prepared a host of other classics that will be more appropriate for a clean and healthy education. Hopefully this meets with the approval of you and Mrs. Gradenko.

Sincerely,
The Publishing Corp
