...extinguished Beacon might wind up behind a hyphen on the masthead of the Eagle's afternoon edition, and room may be found for a few Beacon editorial hands on the Eagle's staff. But what really interested the city, after 32 years on a starvation newspaper diet, was a possibility raised by the dying Beacon itself in a farewell editorial: "It may be that Wichitans will read better newspapers than they have seen...
...have brainwashed the American public into accepting the idea that a daily bowel movement is a necessity for anyone. Your doctor knows nothing could be further from the truth."

In his lunatic vision, the Weimar Republic becomes a memorable cartoon-rather as if George Grosz had been a Disney animator. On a diet of zwieback, Lasik sits in a druggist's window advertising the shocking effects of not drinking cod liver oil; later he understudies for a circus monkey. Small wonder that when he wants to invoke God he swears "in the name of all that is being ridiculed...
