Re: Does “Never Again” Have Any Meaning?

[Arthur Fuller]

I strenuously object! I am quite perfect, a perfect fool. I have laboured
for decades to achieve this status, and I dare anyone to prove an even

Not to mention (and keep this vaguely on topic), I love V. and even more,
Gravity's Rainbow, whose opening sentence is stencilled on my eyelids. "A
screaming..." that is enough. I can recite the rest but you all know it.
