The only contrast relating these pages and your morning info is that you see all viewpoints and yet aren't definite what the conclusion will be, even if you had believed that correctness e'er prevails. This is an matchless adventure story next to mutual perplexity and machination. A combination of CSI meets Hill Street Blues on unreal.
