8:39 am	@@@@@"To tell you the truth, I'm a Rat Pack kind @@@@@"To tell you the truth, I'm a Rat Pack kind of guy The idea of Jack Cantori hanging with Dino and Frank made me wonder - and not for the first time that day - if any of this was really happeningI also wondered how I could remember that Dennis DeYoung and Tommy Shaw had been in Styx - that 330 Shaw had in fact written the song currently blasting out of the van's speakers - and sometimes not be able to remember my own ex-wife's name xi Both lights on the answering machine next to the living room phone were blinking: the one indicating that I had messages and the one indicating that the tape for recording messages was fullBut the number in the MESSAGES WAITING window was only 1I considered this with foreboding while the weight with my headache inside it slid a little closer to the front of my skullThe only two people I could think of who might call and leave a message so long it would use up the whole tape were Pam and Ilse, and in neither case would hitting PLAY MESSAGES be apt to bring me good newsIt doesn't take five minutes of recording-time to say Everything's fine, call when you get a chance Leave it until tomorrow, I thought, and a craven voice I hadn't even known was in my mental repertoire (maybe it was new) was willing to go 331 furtherIt suggested I simply delete the message without listening to it at all "That's right, sure," I said"And when whichever one it is calls back, I can just tell her the dog ate my answering machineAnd as so often happens when we are sure we know what to expect, I drew a wild card It wasn't Pam and it wasn't IlseThe wheezy, slightly emphysematic voice coming from the answering machine belonged to Elizabeth Eastlake "Hello, Edgar," she said"One hopes you had a fruitful afternoon and are enjoying your evening out with Wireman as much as I am my evening in with Misswell, I forget her name, but she's very pleasantAnd one hopes you'll notice that I have remembered your nameI'm enjoying one of my clear patchesI love and treasure them, but they make me sad, as wellIt's like being in a glider and rising on a gust of wind above a low-lying groundmistFor a little while one can see everything so clearlyand at the same time one knows the wind will die and one's glider will sink back into the mist againDo you see?" 332 I saw, all righ (Comment on this)

Of course, that was why he had crushed the cigarette on the floor Hearn made no answer, but his jaws quivered just perceptibly Cummings sat back, enjoying himself"We're wandering a little far afieldI was going to explain the war to you "Yes, if you would Hearn's sharp voice, slightly unpleasant, was exhibiting the least bit of irritation "I like to call it a process of historical energyThere are countries which have latent powers, latent resources, they are full of potential energy, so to speakAnd there are great concepts which can unlock that, express itAs kinetic energy a country is organization, co-ordinated effort, your epithet, fascism He moved his chair slightly"Historically the purpose of this war is to translate America's potential into kinetic energyThe concept of fascism, far sounder than communism if you consider it, for it's grounded firmly in men's actual natures, merely started in the wrong country, in a country which did not have enough intrinsic potential power to develop completel (Comment on this)
