We were just about to wrap this one up forthe printers when it struck us. Our inspiration was nothing but outright if unconscious theft. Noth ing our readers would say but a cheap attempt to capitalize on the popularity of a a Streetcar or in the ingenious translation of a French colleague a Tramway which Calls itself passion in the ensuing struggle with our conscience something inside of us snapped and All the sub merged completes and obsessions with which we had become riddled Rose to the surface.
