...skips, half drags itself toward Christmas. We trust that your Christmases are the same. Or have you licked the season too? Have you solved everything? This letter will be propped up in a capsule at the Statue of Liberty, to be opened on the statue's bicentennial. Go ahead. Undo the lock. I see your sharp, bright faces as you hoist us into your life, superior as cats to your primitive elders. Quaint, are we not? Beware of superior feelings. The message in this bottle may turn out to be as much a warning as an artifact...

At the same time, tons of special food consignments were flooding into the city for proud display in store windows. Convoys of black limousines snaked through the streets or lolled at curbside. And everywhere throughout the country, from Vladivostok to Kaliningrad, red banners and billboards appeared bearing the Roman numerals XXVII...
...result of a series of friendly pranks between my room and three friends upstairs. They came down with squirt-guns, we fought back with shaving cream. They locked us into our room by "pennying" our door, and spilled water and baking soda on my roommate as he attempted to undo the door, (after getting out the window) and we responded by pouring cologne under their door. Finally, two of my roommates decided a better joke would be to put incense under their door and smell up their room. This led to the accidental fire, and thus, a hearing with...
