...letter, which to me is a gloomy one, and say that they would give a great deal to have problems such as this. After all, we still do have a strategic reserve when many similar institutions, and other faculties at Harvard, do not. On the other hand, it does seem clear to me that the legitimate pressures that increase our expenses seem stronger than our ability to produce offsetting income, and that this condition will persist at least for the next few years.

Like the impoverished Italians of Pasolini's Teorama these Americans seem to be struggling, each to possess alone the memory of Cock Certain, perhaps their Christ, perhaps their Satan, surely their source of life. Their struggle though is ultimately a dance of death, as yet another enigmatic figure, a man dressed in white pied-pipers the players away...
