With all the damned miracle drugs and characters orbiting the earth in crazy capsules, they still haven't figured out a way to keep a six-year-old from getting a cold. He remembered the kid waving from the window yesterday morning when he'd been ordered East to attend this clambake standing there beside Miriam, waving good-bye and barking like a sea lion. What the hell was wrong with doctors?
