Line 70: The new TV (p 98)

The eight-line variant Kinbote reports on here, with its Zemblan subject
matter that is completely foreign to the rest of the poem, its
moon-June-spoon rhymes, and its meter tripping over the natuural accents of
the words, was fabricated by C.K. If you're not convinced by the clumsiness
of the forgery, check the entry for variants in the index.

D.C.
