unless something gets stolen from a room then they're all over you."
D. "Finally I lie down and breathe against the weight of unmovable air on my chest. I wake up a few

of the world's saddest song, lyrics indecipherable, to the accompaniment of trucks on the
highway."
E. "For sheer grandeur, scale, and intimidation value, I doubt if any corporate orientation exceeds
that of Wal-Mart. I have been told that the process will take eight hours, which will include two
