...that panting voice is worthy of contemplation, and theories diverge greatly on this. Truman Capote, a perennial favorite, has recently been exonerated by the fact of his death If it is him, then he's calling from a long way away. A number of faculty members, including a sizeable portion of the English Department, have also been the object of suspicion.
