Sigh. I have heard back from TMS, and their policy is not to allow reprinting without an appropriate usage fee per article reprinted. Since I am working in a non-profit capacity, their fee for me is only $30 per article. I cannot comply with this, of course. Accordingly, whenever I receive an acceptable submission quoting material from TMS, I will post the article with appropriate references for interested readers and replace the quoted material with the following statement: [Note - Tribune Media Services has refused me the right to reproduce material distributed by them, unless I pay a usage fee per reprinted article. Since I am working in a volunteer capacity, it is both unreasonable and impractical for me to comply with their conditions. As such, I am not allowed to reprint the article in question and it has been deleted - ed.] (Both my contact and the President of TMS are aware that I am doing this.) Please do not stop sending in any article you read from any source that you feel is acceptable for r.a.s.i. If it is from a TMS publication or otherwise syndicated by TMS, please tell me. Since I will be calling up the publication to receive permission to reprint, it's not crucial that you know for a fact that it is or isn't a TMS publication. This will primarily affect submissions of "Marilyn Beck's Grapevine".
