          Mark Kohut sez:
          the false "history" that spy novels, boys' adventure 
          novels, etc.assume/create in readers.. 
 
          For values of "etc." including history books and 
          textbooks, seminars and symposia. . . .

"Local News and Sports!!!":

          Production staff murmered into walkie-talkies, 
          technicians could be seen through the fateful 
          window, waving light meters and checking 
          soundlevels outside as Zoyd, breathing steady, 
          silently repeated a mantra that Van Meter, 
          claiming that it'd cost him $100, had toward 
          the end of his yoga phase last year hustled 
          Zoyd into buying for a twenty that Zoyd hadn't 
          really enjoyed discretionary use of. At last all 
          was set. Van Meter flashed Mr. Spock's Vulcan 
          hand salute. "Ready when you are, Z Dubya!"

          Zoyd eyeballed himself in the mirror behind the 
          bar, gave his hair a shake, turned, poised, then 
          screaming ran empty-minded at the window and 
          went crashing through. He knew the instant he 
          hit that something was funny. There was hardly 
          any impact, and it all felt and sounded different, 
          no spring or resonance, no volume, only a sort 
          of fine, dulled splintering.
