The Snapper
Investigates
After reviewing the Film "The
Dancer Upstairs," the Snapper got a little more interested in
the South American situation and begin doing a little research into
some idiosyncrasies he noticed involving staff behavior and the some
of the movements and uprisings taking place in the Andes. His investigation led him on a junket through
various banana republics, rain forests, pristine beaches, and washboarded back roads until he ran into some
indigenous folks who recognized
some of the photos he had been showing around. He
now thinks he has caught a scent of some interesting
connections and coincidences concerning some of his fellow Goliard staffers and the on
again off again revolution going on up in the high altitudes of the
Southern continent.
First
off, he uncovered that around the time the Movie Man arrived on the
local scene and began
spending most of his waking hours in darkened movie houses and
smoking cigars under the moonlit
desert sky, the leader of the Communist Party of Peru (PCP)
"President Gonzalo" (actually Dr. Ruben Abimal Guzman
Reinoso) was captured and subsequently disappeared from public view.
No one has seen the communist leader since that day which was right
around the time when we first
saw the Movie Man. Compare the countenances of the two and draw your own
conclusions.
 It is also now public knowledge
that the Atwater's are currently spending time in exile in the hills
of Peru and were last seen somewhere near Cuzco. Their exact whereabouts are currently
unknown of course but if memory serves, Mrs.
Atwater has admitted to spending a significant amount of time in
Peru during the formative years of the revolution and it was at some
undisclosed location high in the Andes that Mr. Atwater is said to
have proposed to the now Mrs. Atwater. Readers of this space will
also recall that the Atwaters and the Movie Man were spotted over a
year ago an some type
of political forum at an undisclosed courtyard in the Sonoran
Desert. Some believe that the seemingly strange bedfellow connection between the
Movie Man and the Atwaters
may have been cultivated years earlier in a remote village high in the Andes
amongst the Llamas and Alpacas. It has also been widely circulated that the Movie Man was
present at the Atwater's wedding even though he is on record as
saying he would not attend a wedding or a funeral unless it was his
own. This ongoing love triangle remains
a mystery to many at the Goliard just as it remains a source of
intrigue to our readers which is why we have dispatched our one and
only investigative reporter into the wilds of South America to look
into the matter. This new development will keep him away from his
original assignment which was to tail the new Bookwoman and see that
she is not, in fact, the old Bookwoman in disguise or even perhaps
another editor in drag. Whatever the case, that story will have to
wait while the Snapper follows the shining path to truth. We'll let
you know what he finds.
