Colleague dearest, That's "Halley's" with two (2) Ls and it's Susy with a Y, not an IE. and I know what the Paige typesetter looks like because I stop by the house on Farmington Avenue a few times a year and go down into the cellar to take pity on the poor machine. If it weren't for that danged Mergenthaler beating Paige out, I could've been spared a career in journalism and instead been a river pilot, as I originally envisioned myself at 10 or thereabouts. In my capacity as a journalist, I have excised enough "the" s from HUCK FINN to build one sumbitch of a raft. I have never, however, taken SLC up on his desire to shoot anyone who found meaning in the book. Though I have been tempted, and more than once, with Jane Smiley's address, too. But I hung fire.
