The same issue printed an article from Richard Adams’s original publisher that might interest fans of Watership Down (which sounded to me, when I first heard of it, vaguely like something about submarines).

31 Oct 1965 NYTBR — a nice article. Some of us felt more or less that way about Tolkien's great tale back then.

The August 1969 issue of Fantastic has an enjoyable article called “Tolkien and Temperaments.” You may read online the article as published in Void #29, the fanzine from which Fantastic's editor Ted White reprinted the piece -- go to p. 26 at the link below.
