...been made to the old cemetery, to accommodate the ashes of the lately dead. The new names of the departed include such as Euripides Alexopoulos, Didymus Hupp, Saul Kostecki, Teresa Pashkowsky, Diamandi Viktoria, Yet Sing Low. Their problems have changed, too.

My ends and tackles almost succeeded in doing this on more than one occasion...
