In Retrospect

Ken O’Brien

At the outset I want to say that I made a serious mistake. I should never have apologized for the article "Weighty Matters". Insofar as the target of that article has refused to accept the apology it can be considered to have been rescinded.

Moving on I hope to discuss the matter that gave rise to that article in a reasonable and intelligent manner.

A number of years back we had a town manager by the name of Clayton Carlisle. Mr. Carlisle was, shall we say, portly.
