Fifty years ago................................


At the book store..............................................................



























     All this happened, more or less.  The war parts, anyway, are pretty much true.  One guy I knew really was shot in Dresden for taking a teapot that wasn't his.  Another guy I knew really did threaten to have his personal enemies killed by hired gunmen after the war.  And so on.  I've changed all the names.

-Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., this being the opening paragraph from Slaughterhouse-Five
