The young man was silent. But John? Headline, he announced. The Gioconda is to sing again! Incredible and terrifying though the prospect may seem, exactly two weeks from now the live uncensored voice of the Gioconda will go out coast-to-coast on all three V.C. radio channels. Surprised, Mangon? Its no secret, they’re printing the bills right now. Eight-thirty to nine-thirty, right up on the peak, even if they have to give the time away.” Mr. Clarke looked at me in surprise and said,Thats right at that. It will probably take just about the remaining four years to set it up. About that down payment . . . she said. "Variation Two.
