drome was record breaker to hear
Sig francesca Creatore and his Ital-

others had some nice Monday audi
ences, but so far as records for that

he went through some evolutions like
a maddened animal and every last
hair stuck out, making his head look
like an enraged porcupine. He is a
constant wonder to watching eyes. y
