**4) “where the ragged people go, to the places only they would know”:** The Asylum Choir will meet in joint session with the Midget Tag Team at Travelers' Rest to program the Summer Tour. The Orphanage will supply the refreshments: Chateau Lafitte '29 for the *apéritif*, Sterno for the *doch-an-dorrach.* Reservations must have been made *consule Planco*. Contact either Mistah Kurtz or Owsley for room numbers (“quorum numerus est sicut arena maris”). **5) “Reformation, hops and beer came into England all in a year”:** Winthrop and Schrödinger are currently assaying the latest Net Tonnage from the “Arbella”, metallurgical print-outs are expected by the 459th Anniversary of the *Confessio Augustana.* **6) “History is different because Thaddeus Stevens was born with a clubfoot and thereby identified with the losers of the world.”:** “et ea quae non sunt, ut ea quae sunt destrueret...” \* Ora pro nobis, ora pro me.\*
