If he does that, then he'll truly have gone 'round the bend, because just
about a year ago I did some research for him on the Spat-Upon Myth, which he
was gonna use to rebut Martin Amis's apparent belief in the Myth. Don't know
if he used it, but if he refutes the facts that he once acknowledged, then
