On Science Fiction, by Kurt Vonnegut

Chiles Samaniego sends in this link, On Science Fiction, by Kurt Vonnegut (The New York Times, September 5, 1965). After reading the recommended link by The Bibliophile Stalker on the possible state of science-fiction publishing in the post immediately preceding this, one finds that the labeling and "respect" aspect may have already been an issue more than forty years ago, according to Vonnegut.
