Still, his voyeur-monitors were apparently in such proximity that -- maybe this technique wouldn't have worked. Give it a few years; the die is cast: the desire to perpetually find new gossip material (and see whose really Is bigger) shall triumph over any of those old 1776 ideas n'such. But there will be Winston.. and other all-new-people; what's to lose, if you never had it and can't read anymore?

Sounds intriguing, as does The Defenstration of Ermintrude Inch (after a quick google) :-\ufffd Seems that ol Arthur was prescient about there being a future use for windows. Too. Added to used-book lookers. Thanx. A.
