I'm just glad that I've got the Harper Perennial edition of "V." "V."  
has always been a very hard book for me to absorb. You may have given  
me an "open sesame" with Mondaugen's story.

I may be a natural-born Stencilizer but Charles Dodge's "Earth's  
Magnetic Field" instantly leaps to mind. Two days ago I was listening  
to "Any Resemblance is Purely Coincidental", long a favorite of speech- 
song composer Charles Amirkhanian.

"How can we know the dancer from the dance?"

Excellent question and a reminder to look for sources:
