Excellent letter, Jeff, if I may say so. I would like your permission to
quote the line "We're all slaves....better than the rest." with or with-
out attribution as you prefer. May I assume you intended the past
tense relative to "...slaves have [had] it better."?
I suppose I should explain that I am one of the very few surviving
champions of Classical Roman Civilization, and of course your assess-
ment is perfectly correct when treated as legitimate hyperbole, or,
if that displeases you, then as a sort of allegorical character like the
figures in Orwell's "Animal Farm".
Besieged as I am on all fronts and in a militarily untenable position,
my planned breakthrough to the North requires just such ordnance.
With greatest respect,
Bob
