Yo, Crisper:  I think the organization can use this fellow.  Do you and
'the guys' have the van free for an impromptu 'nomination conference' later
this week?

Mr. Allen will be pleased to know that, when the Scorched Earth Party
comes to power, stocks will not only be reinstituted, but updated.

Modern technological advances in thermosensitive plastics allow for
stocks that expand in response to body heat, becoming tighter and more 
confining over time.  Anoxia-induced brain damage makes for slow targets,
suitable for training the young and exercising the old.

But absolute power is just what you'll have when the Vogel/Johnson axis
crushes their way to absolute victory in 1996.  Scorched Earth.  Because
it's a 'one person, one blood-encrusted lead pipe' system.

President Vogel won't change the freeway signs; he'll make them a MINIMUM.
This will be enforced zealously by his truncheon-wielding minions, especially
on those tight turns.

You have the 'right stuff' to work with the Scorched Earth party.  A
delegation will be along to take your application, blood and semen samples,
and cloning stock later this week.
