[Wendell] Ashton said a manuscript could pass muster with the [correlation] committee and still not be well written or stimulating or instructive or thought-provoking or accomplish any of hte goals set up the the auxiliaries for their manuals.  In short, something could pass the Correlation Committee and still be dull; in fact, if it was dull it usually passed with speed and high praise.  I had observed the same thing.
