   Summary

   Richard Papen hates studying to be a doctor. He wishes he were doing something else with his time, something beautiful or terrible, anything to relieve the monotony of slowly throwing away a good career that he is not good enough for.

   He finds himself in a low-budget exhibition about the moon landing, where a tall man sits down next to him and asks if man walking on the moon is something everyone else knew about. The tall man with the square jaw in the dark coat has a bruise on his neck and something on his mind he isn't saying, but he wants to interrogate someone about Homer and he needs someone to make him feel clever. Richard can do that. He has nothing else on.
