Yet another excellent reason to take up arms against a sea of broadcast
media.
VVN certainly teaches me to pay more attention; when I got to the end of
_Despair_, I too had lost track of Felix's walking stick, which the
prestidigitator then used to whack me over the head for being so slack a
reader.
Then last night I began _Invitation to a beheading_. Another world
altogether. I think in honor of Gennady's advice, I'll begin it again
tonight.

"The heart of our proposal is the most generous family deductions in two
generations -- $13,000 for each adult and $5,000 for each child, so that
a family of four earning $36,000 pays not one cent in taxes. All but
eliminating the income tax for the average American family -- that's our
idea of real tax reform."
