...Federal Bureau of Investigation has displayed elephantine tact in its most recent "conversation" with a Harvard student. Aggrey Awori, President of the East African Students,' Organization in the Americas, was questioned at length by an FBI agent several weeks ago.

Upon opening it, Bundle discovered a pouch of greenish tobacco and a white card on which was printed a Roman numeral seven enclosed in a circle. Realizing the importance of his discoveries, Bundle started back to police headquarters.
