...whipped out of the shattered roof and flapped at the sky. A shower of burning celluloid, floating down in blazing strips and flakes, fell on the screaming mob of men, women and children for a quarter of a mile around. Those who had not been knocked senseless by the impact of the explosion, surged in terror to the river bank, plunged into the water to quench their burning hair and clothes. Mrs. Latone, aflame from head to foot, leaped into the river, sank and was drowned. Then came a second blast. The shower of burning celluloid thickened into a roll...

The impact of the later diminishes when one learns that the man in question is not von Papen after all, but von Papen's son, a law student at the University of Berlin. Mr. von Papen writes in a rather naive and unconvincing fashion, and his statistical vagaries have been carefully corrected by the editors of the Harkness Hoot, all of which indicates that the Hoot has once more been mumbo-jumboed by the roll of a mighty name...
