...first of these vernal mistakes is a rather loose-knit little clique instigated by someone known only to close subordinates as "The Howl." To everybody else "The Howl" looks like a loose-knit booby wearing a Win With Willkie mask and carrying a machete (a loose-knit pocket knife) and scaring the devil out of a couple of characters he found playing pinball in the lower reaches of J entry (left stairway...
