I completed my business in 20 minutes or so, and then wandered around waiting for the return flight. Having a . few hours to waste, I decided to look into the SF position in the Harbour city. And what a position ! They must keep it under the counter ! A few back numbers of ASF at McKay's, a PB or two at Swain's, but no hardcover items ! What's going on up there, gang ? Has it been declared subversive by your government now ? Anyway, after looking in vain, I decided to take in the sights.
