Excerpt from Turn Off the Sunshine
They put their product up in round, fiat boxes Shaped like, and about as big as, a cheese.
John Barton Hunter - which was not his real name - worked in one of these canneries. He made money, -above two hundred grand per income tax. That is when the making was good.
Back when he was tender, Hunter had been a newspaper reporter, and ever Since affected the soft, big leaded pencils. They dirtied his hundred-dollar suits.
He had been an actor, and still watched what effect his words had on audiences, down to one. He strutted a little when he walked. He pronounced words too correctly. Otherwise he was a good egg.
