Excerpt: ...a few of us here, and we-we think you ought to see that and not give the crowd a bad name. All the other correspondents have some regard for-for their position and for the paper, but you loaf around here looking like an old tramp-like any old beach-comber, and it queers the rest of us.

"I'm just telling you what they're saying. Now, there's the Cuban refugees, for instance. No one knows what they're doing here, or whether they're real Cubans or Spaniards." "Well, what of it?"
