A <strong>Life</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Day</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Nixdown</strong> <strong>Nixon</strong><br />

I go down <strong>the</strong> steps and walk across <strong>the</strong> quad<br />

<strong>to</strong> greet <strong>the</strong>m. <strong>The</strong>y both avail <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> services <strong>of</strong> my<br />

clobber consultant and are immaculately attired <strong>in</strong><br />
