THAT'S the secret, really. Don't write out "TIME!!!" in inch-high scrawl--it only brings out the sadist in us. Don't (Cliffies) write offers to come over and read aloud to us your illegible remarks--we can (officially) read anything, and we may be married. Write on both sides of the page--single-blue-book finals look like less work to grade, and win points. This chic, shaded calligraphic script so many are affecting lately is handsome, and is probably worth a good five extra points if you can hack...

...this she means the peculiar twain of her parentage. Her father had been a Nazi officer, labeled the "Mad Sadist of Bleritz" for his genetic experiments in a concentration camp and executed after being tried at Nuremberg. One of his victims was the half-gypsy girl who became Sandra's mother. She was, the daughter notes ironically, "really lucky, and was all of 15 when I was born, at the very end of the war."
