OT: 1st reading of GR

[NEIL JENNY CONATY]

The em-dash seems to enclose a nested statement, so I would wait for the original idea to come to a pause after "but it does . . . "       (right back to Kekule there.

  Howdy
  First line of page 411 in Viking Edition is 
  "IG go to seances? They ought to be quite at home with the bureaucra-"

  The parenthesis in question is at line 8 
  "(after you get a little time in--whatever"

  The gentleman is right, it never closes! Assuming this to be a
  printer's error, I would replace the em-dash after "over here" with the
  closing parenthesis. But it doesn't read especially well that way, and
  so the idea that it just Never Closes is attractive to me.
