...Palace as a whole. It dis closes itself in time, and each passage of shapes is apt to erase and replace one's memory of its predecessor. In short, it aspires - to employ that gnomic phrase of Walter Pater's - toward the condition of music, the serial art par excellence...

What continues to puzzle police is why the kidnapers would demand payment in a denomination of bills that is 1) hard to assemble in large quantities even at banks, and 2) easily traceable (the police have the serial numbers of all the bills).

The serial ran for 5½ months before the hero was lost at sea while surfing off San Clemente. Recently revived as Bagtime II, the series has Mike meeting up with Chicago Mayor Michael Bilandic and his bride in California and then heading back home to his fans...
