insurance in Vineland

[Doug Millison]

Re that LA Times article Frodeaux brought to our attention, the one

obliteration of a research complex belonging to the shadowy world 
conglomerate Chipco. [....] From an insurance point of view [....] 
Through the years of stately unfoldings of the deep actuarial 
mysteries that allowed him to go on making a living, Takeshi had come 
to value and watch closely in the world for signs and symptoms, 
messagers from beyond [....]"
