B. P. M. MENCO Wageningen, 12oktober197 7 'This country', said Eliot, 'had tremendous research projects devoted to fighting odors. They were supported by individual contributions given to mothers whomarche d on Sunday from door todoor . The ideal of the research was to find a specific chemical deodorant for every odor. But then the hero, whowa sals oth ecountry' sdictator ,mad ea wonderfu l scientific breakthrough, even though he wasn't a scientist, and they didn't need the projects anymore. He went right to the root of the problem'. 'Uh huh', said the Senator. He couldn't stand stories by Kilgore Trout, and was embarrassed for his son. 'He found one chemical that would eliminate all odors?' he suggested, to hasten the tale to a conclusion. 'No. AsI say,th eher owa sdictator , and hesimpl yeliminate d noses.'
