In a yard on the hill above him he saw an astounding sight: a cold-eyed little M-G-M talent scout who had ignored him for months was waving at him. "Gung Gung!" the apparition shouted. "How are you today, Gung Gung?" Lahr rose and walked to the house. "They've previewed the picture," he called through the door, "and I'm good." They...
