footnotes . with which he
spatters this curious
manuscript, Mr. Reeves
confesses a fondness for the
satire of Juvenal. He seems
to imply a kinship to the
Roman lawyer and author
who wrote nineteen-hundred
years ago. However any
valid comparison would
require that noble Roman to |
change the spelling of the
latter part of his name from
“al” to “ile”. There are, God.
knows, multitudinous warts
- to be exposed on the corpus |
of the CBC, But they can be |
exorcised only with genuine
applications of “acid, not
random spatterings of badly-
aimed sludge..
