of the car surrounded on all side:
by every conceivable sample o
humanity. But what should at
tract our attention before we had
the time to take in the magnitude
of the situation, was a couple who
were evidently in love. VIZ

long before we discovered that

and yet we could see she had a
kind of awe of him, the same as
