Can someone briefly explain--or point me to resources that explain--how it is 
that in 1976 Peter Gidal can include Annette Michelson's June 1971 Artforum 
piece "Towards Snow" in his Structural Film Anthology when in the September 
1971 issue of Artforum he excoriates her and this piece in particular, 
beginning a letter to the editor, 

> In a remarkably wrongheaded piece, Annette Michelson, in the june Artforum 
> asserts, with reference to Michael Snow's film, Wavelength, "Snow has 
> redefined filmic space as that of action.

"… remarkably wrongheaded…" is certainly polemical, but there she is in the 
anthology.  What happened?  Was her response to him persuasive?   

I'll take my answer off the air.
