...much to the likes of Shelley Berman and Woody Allen, but her style and material, to say nothing of her femininity, make her something special. Snapping out her lines, bobbing and weaving around the stage like a pug in the last throes of brain damage, she is an unindexed handbook on how to be neurotic about practically everything...

And, as plainly stipulated to them in the secret handbook issued to them when they were hired, "Personal misbehavior of Bureau employees, reflecting unfavorably on themselves or on the Bureau, and neglect of duty, cannot be tolerated. And such misconduct, or neglect of duty, or allegations of such nature, must be promptly reported to the Bureau by any employee learning...
