Dear Wunderkind,
In most big business deals there's usually a kickback to the buyer in
some way or another... what do you think Thomas Jefferson got out of the
deal with Napoleon in the Louisiana Purchase?
Sincerely,
Jeb Bush

Dear Moulin Ruse,
What did Jefferson get from Napoleon to sweeten the deal? French ticklers.
Seriously. There were about a dozen of them, half named Josephine, all
of them expert ticklers, not one of them paler than a Turkish teacup.
Jefferson giggled and giggled, through night after dusky night.

Mister Wonderful Recommends: This book I'm currently enjoying the
bejesus out of - David Foster Wallace's "Everything and More: a compact
history of [infinity]" A book wherein Zeno's Paradices are referred to
as "nutcrunching."

"In the City Market is the Meet Cafe. Followers of
obsolete, unthinkable trades doodling in Etruscan...
black marketeers of World War III... sellers of
orgone tanks and relaxing machines, brokers of
exquisite dreams and memories tested on the
sensitized cells of junk sickness and bartered
for raw materials of the will... a place where the
unknown past and the emergent future meet in a
vibrating silent hum..."
-William S. Burroughs,
