...happy to see your item about the Sad Sacks. I have spent some time around mental hospitals and prisons where I "accidentally" had access to files of psychiatric diagnosis. Uhler's note on the "Army's evasive psychiatric procedures by which a precise diagnosis was avoided in favor of mere description and paraphrase" would be a kind way to state the chaotic, uncritical "diagnosis" of psychiatrists in general...

Hand-picked missionaries have left or are about to leave to do some top level, pre-treaty softening-up in China, India, Brazil (Newfoundland...
They ran him as a dummy to split the cocklebur vote for the opposing faction; but Willie didn't know this. Willie thought the Lord was calling him to save the state and so did his wife, Lucy, who had been a schoolteacher and didn't favor drinking. Willie was pure and believed in his backers.
