> Dear Frederick Wurtzel:
>
> Thank you for submitting an essay to This I Believe. Your essay has now
> completed our review process. Though your essay was not chosen for 
> broadcast
> on NPR, the larger goal of our project is to open a community conversation
> about belief--one essay at a time. To that end, we have placed your essay 
> in
> the This I Believe online database.
>
> If you go to our website at www.thisibelieve.org, then click on "Advanced
> Essay Search," fill in only your last name in the "Last Name" field. You 
> can
> also find your essay by searching all essays from your city or state. You
> will notice that only your first name will be seen on the web page with 
> your
> essay. We do not publish last names or other personal information on our
> website.
>
> Please don't consider this in any way a "rejection."  Our criteria for
> broadcast consider many factors beyond subjective notions of quality. We 
> air
> only a fraction of one percent of those submitted, and we must balance our
> few selections across themes, perspectives, diversity of sources, and so 
> on.
>
> Though your essay has not been selected for NPR, we are working to find
> other venues to publish some of the many thousands of essays we have
> received, including newspapers, podcasts, and local public radio stations.
> Should we find a venue to print or broadcast your essay, one of our staff
> will be in touch with you.
>
> We are honored by your having shared your most closely held convictions 
> with
> us. Thank you, sincerely, for participating in our project.
