LETTERS: A TRAGEDY IN ONE SCENE

To the editor:

Scene: Berlin, office of the chancellor of the German Reich. (Seated at a desk is a man who, apparently by accident, either shaved off the ends of a moustache that he wanted to keep or else neglected to shave off the middle of a moustache that he wanted to get rid of. In front of him is a document plainly labeled "Final Solution for a Racially Pure Greater German Reich." He has pen in hand and is poised to affix his signature to the document. In rushes an excited uniformed assistant with what appears to be a certificate in a frame.)

Assistant:

"Mein Fuhrer, look at this lovely framed copy of the Ten Commandments that my child was presented with in school yesterday!"

Moustache Man:

"And your point is ... ?" (Signs the "Final Solution" document and puts in the out box.)
