THE RtTYOR HOUND doesn’t like the
f unny story we heard about Mr ,Fos
ter.lV called it "tawdryskulldugge
ry ar.d a verJle attack" ,We don’t un
derstand his language and we could
not find scullduggery or venile in
the dictionary.The nearedt•sound
ing to venile is'*senile"so. maybe
that is what he meant.Then there is
the word venial meaning "excusable
maybe that is what he meant."Scull
means a sch©61 of fifeh and probab
ly that’s us,but say,only a Rumor
Hound would know what he means by
calling our writing "duggery”,
