But why risk it? Can you imagine yourself headed to the Ivory Tower in
Newark, driving along Raymond or MLK in Elaine M.M. Bell Writer's broken
down Dodge and getting flat? Even I ain't gettin out that car. Best to
stay in the Ivory Tower. Get one in Ireland if you can afford it. You
should have a brother in the States send you the papers (including the
Rutger's Crime log) if you don't have internet access of a telephone.
