...Halleck. The writing here is of the "It was a dark and stormy night" variety that Snoopy, the Peanuts dog, concocts whenever he tries to write his own novel. Halleck and his friend take a canoe trip, and he is nearly drowned in "the deafening roar" of the wild Loughrea. This is a Celtic place name, used for a Canadian river. But it sounds almost exactly like logorrhea, and in this sibylline choice, abused readers will take malicious pleasure. -By John Skow
