On Monday, he coul3,n~t type except with one bad, so he sent the reports then i n t o Pop, asking him k in l ly to pinch-hit once again, which he 9id a s graciwsly as ever. Those which cane i n Tuesday he sent t o Hal lhagner, f o r although able to type, i t pained consider- ably. nednesday, deadline, he was able to knock off these s tenc i l s with the l a t e s t reports, but not ,q i thout pain and slownoss, and not using the l e f t pinby.
