A battalion of rampant bores prowls the streets and
hotel lobbies in search of victims. An intellectual avant-
gardist -- *'Of course the only writing worth considering

granuloma." ( Of course, the reports are all gibberish he
has concocted and printed up. )

intelligence." (Always ominous words, my boy ..
