Eccentric Medley of Tombs Talks and Writers in Flux
A fragmentary column blends cemetery reflections on epitaphs with playful jabs at critics and artists. It drifts through bars of wit about barracuda, film figures, and literary clashes, sketching a hazy panorama of culture, finance, and personal bravado across scenes from Phoenix to Germany.

The Curse of Progress Subtle Compliment
A fragmented text presents a playful exchange about a desk sign and its impression on influential constituents. Senator Sorghum notes the sign adds to a visitor’s sense of importance when given a cigar, while a minor warning against offense is dismissed. The passage then devolves into garbled lines about repairs, a surgeon, and a vague reference to a “Time and Farmer C.” with parts of dialogue and stray phrases.
