.Underslung.What progress have you made in getting the Whiz Kid an Oscarfor underhanded driving?"Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.html"No, no," I sneezed."This is Tabasco Smith, I mean Mr.Smith.Madison, I absolutely had to call andtell you what a magnificent job you have done.You are a wonder.Thank Gods for PR and please tellMr.Bury I have gone off on a long trip to spy on the Signal Corps for Miss Agnes.""Job done?" he said, sounding mystified."But this campaign isn't over, Smith, far from it! It has along, long way to go yet to achieve lasting image.Wait until you see tomorrow's papers! They will saythat he made so much money betting against himself in the race that he will give the bribe in full to theKansas farmers."There it was again, the thing which I hadn't understood before."What's all this about Kansasfarmers?""You don't get that?" he said, amazed."Good heavens, you surely are a long way from professional.My orders are to make his name a household word and to make him immortal.Since the image of 'theman who started World War III' was ruined, I have had to take a different tack.The one I am workingon now is 'Jesse James.' He was a famous outlaw who fought the railroads in Kansas by robbing trainsand gave the loot to the farmers.He is one of the great American folk heroes.Deathless.So if I can giveWister a Jesse James-type image, all will be well.It can change, though.PR is a fluid subject, Inkswitch,and above all we've got to keep that front page no matter how many natural cataclysms get in the way.IfI try very hard and stay with the fundamentals of professional PR, the Whiz Kid will make it, but it willtake time.Now if you will get off my phone, I'd appreciate it.I'm shorthanded today since Hoodwardwas shot at the airport by Faustino's men and Ted Tramp's wife is having a baby.I'm expecting callsfrom various racing associations to get the Whiz Kid debarred from every track in America so we cancome back the next day and claim they are just terrified to race against him.And for the day after that, Ihave to get riots organized by those who lost bets and riots take a lot of advance time.So I need all myphones!"Yes, I sure could see he was beautifully busy."Please tell Mr.Bury," I sneezed, "that both the SignalCorps and Miss Agnes have snake detectors.Good-bye."I hung up.Well, that was out of the road.Did I need to call the Security Chief at Octopus and tellhim I would not be around? Then I remembered that anything connected with me came up blank on thecomputer and they couldn't tell whether I was working or not.And Miss Pinch might have a bug on thatline.Also, IRS might trace the call.In fact, they might be tracing me right now.SCRAPE!Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.htmlThe door of the phone kiosk flew open.I cowered back, but not in time!It was the owner of the hat and coat!He loomed like a mountain!A huge paw seized me!I was yanked ferociously out of the kiosk.I saw a fist cocked in midair.WHAM!An anvil seemed to hit me in the eye!Down I went on the floor.THUD went my head against the edge of the phone booth!PLOWIE!Into the air around me went a cloud of stars.The sound wasn't from the stars.It was from a boot in my side.Generated by ABC Amber LIT Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abclit.htmlHe tore the mackinaw off of me.He grabbed the hat.THUNK!He kicked me again in the side.I shut my eyes tight.I was waiting for the next kick.It didn't come.I opened my eyes.TWO PAIRS OF HEAVY BOOTS! Right by my face!The two tough men had caught up with me!I was done for!I looked up.One bent over and yanked me to my feet.The other was reaching into his pocket.Gun? Handcuffs?The first one said, "Are you Achmed Ben Nutti?"Oh, my Gods.At Pan Am I had asked for reservations in the name of Inkswitch.Achmed Ben Nuttiwas the United Arab League name I had been travelling under and had passports for.I was too weak to fight [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
