Squeak monkey bells
An attempt was made to keep the episode secret, but there was a leak to the Press from somewhere high in the Administration. Overnight Dr. Stephen Olie was famous. Congress paused in their deliberations to declare him a National Resource while the United Nations claimed him for humanity. Leading clergymen the world over debated the moral issue of whom he should save first, since it was obviously impossible for him to go to the aid of every desperately ill patient. On one occasion, in the cause of peace, he was whisked into a bulky foreign aircraft and flown nonstop to the Kremlin to cure a certain high-ranking official of his cirrhosis. The newspapers debated the morality of that, also. All right! Go get me the baloney then, one of you, out of the cold box. I dont care which one goes. We’ll keep the chicken. Goodbye, Moscow "I, me, myself am actually an honest to goodness golden. I just found out today." Sabina took her copy of the King James Bible from the desk drawer. She had read and absorbed it as a child and again as an adult after Stephens death in an unsuccessful attempt to find solace in religion.

Baffled but excited by the cryptic JTSAL, Sam, who was then in attendance at a night school in cryptography, showed themessage to his instructor, Bertram Luftmensch, a man who had steeped himself in the lore of code-cracking for the past twenty years. Although Mr. Luftmensch prepares a daily coded column for a local Philadelphia newspaper wherein the crossing out of certain letters reveals some advice for thereader, he nevertheless took time out of his demanding schedule to work on the problem posed by Sam Pirokin.
