...Post Office, the Department of Justice and chemists of the Naval Laboratory were asked to trace out the dark roots of a dastard, sinister conspiracy. To marveling callers, Senator Heflin showed how, had he tucked the fiendish violin under his massive chin, he might have inhaled microbes.

The dark-red bricks are so well woven together, the boxes of flowers on the window ledges are so neatly kept, the whole place is so clean-it is a bit of Holland low-country snuggling at the base of Manhattan peaks...
