"The afternoon loomed up empty before me. Luckily a theater on my street was playing a western so old I knew it had to be good. For a modest sum, I was in the invasions in China; in the efforts of an army triumphing without losses over backward terrorists, who hid in the underbrush, disavowed by everyone; in a presidential inauguration and an international tournament. Then the smile of Colgate toothpaste brought us back to the feature; the lion roared on the screen; and the cowboy hero won his heroine n ninety minutes."
