One may hold on to those images for a while, along with the reference to the mother fishing out one child by the heel, then placing him back in the river. But eventually it will all spill together-milk, gasoline and water. Two days hence will find the Syrians saying something and the Soviets saying something and Asia will be overrun by the Cabbage Patch dolls. Why does it feel necessary to grasp this information...
