SIR PAUL GETTY K.BE (1932-2003) The news of Sir Paul Getty's dea th last month was received with grea t sadness by the Literary Review. His widespread philanthropy included many causes in th e literary field that he considered worthwhil e and some years ago, discreetly and anonymously, he gave tim ely encourage ment and very generous support to th e Literary R eview. His sup e rb gift to us th e n proved the turnin g point in our affairs and is th e fo undati on of th e present healthy state of th e magazin e. Only now is it possible to reco rd our great apprec ia t ion of Sir Paul 's ge nerous support . W e ex te nd o ur sin cerest sympathy to his widow, Lady Getty, and we shall rem ember Sir Paul with affection and lastin g gratitude.
