With my looks and Greta's personality, would we be glorified!" exclaimed Jimmy with that look of inquiring exultation so familiar to his fans...
...pestilence, and the snooping, prying novitiate is a bane to all civilized people. Even to those on the inside his behavior is inexplicable. In these days of emphasis on psycho-analysis it would not be a fruitless task for the psychological laboratories to delve deep into the inner makeup of the CRIMSON candidate...
