 brightly colored stack of supermarket tabloids。
  I needed a distraction。 I found a camp chair and set it near the wall behind Babette。 There were four blind people; a nurse and three sighted people arranged in a semicircle facing the reader。 Qthers occasionally paused to listen to an item or two; then moved on。 Babette employed her storytelling voice; the same sincere and lilting tone she used when she read fairy tales to Wilder or erotic passages to her husband in their brass bed high above the headlong traffic hum。
  She reported a front…page story。 〃Life After Death Guaranteed with Bonus Coupons。〃 Then turned to the designated page。
  〃Scientists at Princeton's famed Institute for Advanced Studies have stunned the world by presenting absolute and undeniable proof of life after death。 A researcher at the world…renowned Institute has used hypnosis to induce hundreds of people to recall their previous…life experiences as pyramid…builders; exchange students and extraterrestrials。〃
  Babette changed her voice to do dialogue。
  '〃In the last year alone;' declares reincarnation hypnotist Ling Ti Wan; 'I have helped hundreds to regress to previous lives under hypnosis。 One of my most amazing subjects was a woman who was able to recall her life as a hunter…gatherer in the Mesolithic era ten thousand years ago。 It was remarkable to hear this tiny senior citizen in polyester slacks describe her life as a hulking male chieftain whose band inhabited a peat bog and hunted wild boar with primitive bow and arrow。 She was able to identify features of that era which only a trained archaeologist could know about。 She even spoke several phrases in the language of that day; a tongue remarkably similar to modern…day German。'〃
  Babette's voice resumed its tone of straight narration。
  〃Dr。 Shiv Chatterjee; fitness guru and high…energy physicist; recently stunned a live TV audience by relating the well…documented case of two women; unknown to each other; who came to him for regression in the same week; only to discover that they had been twin sisters in the lost city of Atlantis fifty thousand years ago。 Both women describe the city; before its mysterious and catastrophic plunge into the sea; as a clean and well…run municipality where you could walk safely almost any time of day or night。 Today they are food stylists for NASA。
  〃Even more startling is the case of five…year…old Patti Weaver who has made convincing claims to Dr。 Chatterjee that in her previous…life experience she was the secret KGB assassin responsible for the unsolved murders of famed personalities Howard Hughes; Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley。 Known in international espionage circles as 'the Viper' for the deadly and untraceable venom he injected into the balls of the feet of his celebrity victims; the assassin died in a fiery Moscow helicopter crash just hours before little Patti Weaver was born in Popular Mechanics; Iowa。 She not only has the same bodily markings as the Viper but seems to have a remarkable knack for picking up Russian words and phrases。
  〃'I regressed this subject at least a dozen times;' says Dr。 Chatterjee。 'I used the toughest professional techniques to get her to contradict herself。 But her story is remarkably consistent。 It is a tale of the good that can e from evil。' Says little Patti; 'At the moment of my death as the Viper; I saw a glowing circle of light。 It seemed to wele me; to beckon。 It was a warm spiritual experience。 I just walked right toward it。 I was not sad at all。'〃
  Babette did the voices of Dr。 Chatterjee and Patti Weaver。 Her Chatterjee was a warm and mellow Indian…accented English; with clipped phrasing。 She did Patti as a child…hero in a contemporary movie; the only person on screen who is unawed by mysterious throbbing phenomena。
  〃In a further startling development it was revealed by little Patti that the three supercelebrities were murdered for the same astonishing reason。 Each of them at the time of his or her death was in secret possession of the Holy Shroud of Turin; famed for its sacred curative powers。 Entertainers Elvis and Marilyn were drink…and…drug nightmare victims and secretly hoped to restore spiritual and bodily calm to their lives by actually drying themselves with the Holy Shroud after pore…cleansing sessions in the sauna。 Multi…faceted billionaire Howard Hughes suffered from stop…action blink syndrome; a bizarre condition which prevented his eyes from reopening for hours after a simple blink; and he obviously hoped to utilize the amazing power of the Shroud until the Viper intervened with a swift injection of phantom venom。 Patti Weaver has further revealed under hypnosis that the KGB has long sought possession of the Shroud of Turin on behalf of the rapidly aging and pain…racked members of the Politburo; the famed executive mittee of the munist Party。 Possession of the Shroud is said to be the real motive behind the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II at the Vatican—an attempt that failed only because the Viper had already died in a horror helicopter crash and been reborn as a freckle…faced girl in Iowa。
  〃The no…risk bonus coupon below gives you guaranteed access to dozens of documented cases of life after death; everlasting life; previous…life experiences; posthumous life in outer space; transmigration of souls; and personalized resurrection through stream…of…consciousness puter techniques。〃
  I studied the faces in the semicircle。 No one seemed amazed by this account。 Old Man Treadwell lit a cigarette; impatient with his own trembling hand; forced to shake out the flame before it burned him。 There was no interest shown in discussion。 The story occupied some recess of passive belief。 There it was; familiar and forting in its own strange way; a set of statements no less real than our daily quota of observable household fact。 Even Babette in her tone of voice betrayed no sign of skepticism or condescension。 Surely I was in no position to feel superior to these elderly listeners; blind or sighted。 Little Patti's walk toward the warm weling glow found me in a weakened and receptive state。 I wanted to believe at least this part of the tale。
  Babette read an ad。 The Stanford Linear Accelerator 3…Day Particle…Smashing Diet。
  She picked up another tabloid。 The cover story concerned the country's leading psychics and their predictions for the ing year。 She read the items slowly。
  〃Squadrons of UFOs will invade Disney World and Cape Canaveral。 In a startling twist; the attack will be revealed as a demonstration of the folly of war; leading to a nuclear test…ban treaty between the U。S。 and Russia。
  'The ghost of Elvis Presley will be seen taking lonely walks at dawn around Graceland; his musical mansion。
  〃A Japanese consortium will buy Air Force One and turn it into a luxury flying condominium with midair refueling privileges and air…to…surface missile capability。
  〃Bigfoot will appear dramatically at a campsite in the rugged and scenic Pacific Northwest。 The hairy; upright man…beast; who stands eight feet tall and may be evolution's missing link; will gently wele tourists to gather around him; revealing himself to be an apostle of peace。
  〃UFOs will raise the lost city of Atlantis from its watery grave in the Caribbean by telekinetic means and the help of powerful cables with properties not known in earthlike materials。 The result will be a 'city of peace' where money and passports are totally unknown。
  〃The spirit of Lyndon B。 Johnson will contact CBS executives to arrange an interview on live TV in order to defend itself against charges made in recent books。
  〃Beatle assassin Mark David Chapman will legally change his name to John Lennon and begin a new career as a rock lyricist from his prison cell on murderer's row。
  〃Members of an air…crash cult will hijack a jumbo jet and crash it into the White House in an act of blind devotion to their mysterious and reclusive leader; known only as Uncle Bob。 The President and First Lady will miraculously survive with minor cuts; according to close friends of the couple。
  〃Dead multibillionaire Howard Hughes will mysteriously appear in the sky over Las Vegas。
  〃Wonder drugs mass…produce
