But there are other stores and others Santas, so I gave it one more try. The ar rangement for seeing Santa in this store was like going to a psychiatrist. Santa sat in a paint ed and decorated plywood cubicle and the line approached at right angles from outside. Anxious mothers followed their children into the· "office" and then stood at a respectable distance while the interview took place. The only other person breaking the inner sanctum of seeing this Santa' Claus ·was a store em nloyee. On hand, with bulky equipment firmly set up was a photographer.

"Hi, Santa, I just dropped in to say hello." Wiping a wet brow he said, "Boy, it's a relief to talk to an adult after all those kids." "Well, how are things this year?" I asked, realizing what a big job he had. "Earlier there was a big run on electronics, but now It's leveled off after the Roman candle failed to fly last week. The kids sort of lost confidence in that sort of thing. The usual substitute Is atomic energy sets and hand operated weapons. I guess they _, sort of--figure on every man for himself." This Santa was beginning to depress me. "Gee, no wonder you look so tired; kids want that kind of stuff? What about the girls?" "Oh, dolls are very strong, but It's pitiful to see some sweet little girl, a doll herself, but dressed in clothes showing second run wear, asking for one of those fancy toy dolls that costs fifty dollars or more.

For - some time the bald-face fact was, that if you weren't a king, and you probably weren't, you could not (never, ever) be a hero. And that was that. Well! You can imagine what happened. Everyone wants to be a hero (except girls) and regicide quite naturally became a fad. Every day saw a rash of new kings-and tragic heroes. Still the bald-faced fact re mained that you had to be a king ... and· so forth. This condition prevaile~ for centuries. Certainly there were minor exceptions but none of any real import. The first major change occurred late in the fif teenth century with Shake speare's Romeo, and shortly after, with his Hamlet and Othello. At this point we no longer had to be a king to be a hero; we could be a prince. Or, simply have royal blood. This eased much of the mounting ten-: sion but there were still a few being discriminated against (E.g., everyone else). However, you must admit it was a good step towards the natural right of everyone, except girls, to be a hero. It was also a bold step, as the pendulum was swinging ·back and kings were showing a par tiality to "peoplecide." Titles were selling. Anyone who had money had a title, which implied royalty of some sort. So it turns out (whether Shakespeare intended or not) that anyone with money is eligible to play hero. Of course you have to be important, too-but then you're l'ich, don't sweat it! It took an American to break down the financial barrier. With Melville and Moby Dick we can be a tragic hero withotLt :·iches, as long as we're a whaleboat captain. If he had lived centuries earlier Ahab would probably have been stuck in the chorus of some Greek play groaning "Eleleu! Eleleu!" or given a walk-on. Now he's a hero. There are those who aren't rich or whaleboat captains. These things just· happen. They can't be ex plained. Again years went by. People suffered misfortunes every day that we would call tragic, but it couldn't be tragedy because there was no central figure-no hero.
