GAYLORD CRUMP

As a youngster he got a big bang setting his little brother on fire, as a grownup he got his kicks being a pyromaniac by night and a fire insurance salesman by day; later, when he became ambitious to set the world on fire, he got himself elected to a seat in Congress, and now he preaches the gospel of atomic warfare. -Jerre Mangione

Dear Jack: I apologize for

One way to ease it, I would hope, is to keen on writing, and Wixson says that you are doing that.
