Just what I need , another phantom enemy. But I think my enemies should speak for themselves and not be spoken for by Mr. Miller.

Anyway, I've already forgotten the crank Miller is reading, the Stuart Gallery star. Some people just don't like history. They want to pretend some things didn't happen, or happened without their permission. WC
