[lbo-talk] Message from Louis Proyect

In a bygone age I was an "escort" in a hospital
for the chronically ill.  Our job was to convey
patients, both living and formerly so, here and
there.  You get used to corpses pretty fast.
Republicans too.

I'm no fan of the police, but I recall a remark Studs Turkel made in, I
believe, Working about police doing chores that most people wouldn't want to
do for any amount of money.  This was made in connection with a cop
recollecting his experience cutting down the corpse of some guy who had
hanged himself in his attic.  The body had been there awhile, and the cop
said he had to keep twisting to keep out of the way of maggots falling on
his newly cleaned pants.

There is much to be said for a deskjob.

Carl
