...larynxed Eagle no opportunity to launch into the splendor of his oldtime spiel: "Now, ladies and gentlemen, I invite your undivided attention to the most amazing attraction ever presented for the edification of the citizens of your fair city (come closer, please, so that I may describe this educational exhibit to you in the confidential tones most appropriate for information of this nature). I refer, ladies and gentlemen, to the biological, yes, the anatomical wonder of the age: Jo Jo, the Dog-Faced Boy from deep in the heart of the jungles of Madagascar . . . He crawls on his belly like...
