Regarding the Boot, (9-29), I want to thank the Source for this dubious honor. And in the spirit in which it has been offered, I accept this award. It was described in some detail as “two large, highly polished brass spheres mounted on a walnut base,” but alas, as it “isn’t finished yet,” I look forward to its completion and presentation.

I am sure that the Source will let us know when and where. I promise that this “Rambo Candidate” will come unarmed and medicated.

My regret is however that I cannot thank the writer of the opinion piece directly that bestowed this honor. He forgot to sign his name in his haste to recognize me with the gift of his only set of balls, leaving him with none.
