-- In reply to a letter in Today's `` Voice '' urging the sale of meat after 6 p.m., I wish to state the other side of the story.

I wish I did.

I wish to make Jesus an authentic Jew.

`` I mean, we don't have any way to get there and we can't expect you to quit work just to take us to town ''.

Don't like to bother no one unless we have to, which I figger we do, in your case.

I found a trooper once the Apache had spread-eagled on an ant hill, and another time we ran across some teamsters they'd caught, tied upside down on their own wagon wheels over little fires until their brains was exploded right out o' their skulls.

It was a disturbingly familiar face, too, but I couldn't remember where we had met.

Haven't we haven't I seen you.

I had seen two of them and we would soon be in another city-wide, joyous celebration with romance in the air ; ;

I was aware that when our eyes met we both quickly averted them.

Something clicked in this instance, but I treated her circumspectly and I felt that she knew it, for we both kept our distance.
