Roger, thanks so much. I love that the book had weekly midnight readings on WYSO. Never knew that. I had a weekly show on WYSO my freshman year—”The Blockenspiel,” I called it. It was an AM station at the time, and you could only receive it in the dorms, although occasionally it hitched a ride on an errant wave and wound up audible many miles away.

And yes, if it says “pica hole,” that would be a typo. I’d edited the Record one quarter, and probably would have called it a pica pole.
