In the prior two months, I’d seen the statue from dozens of vantage points, but never like this, from a police helicopter hovering at the figure’s eye level two hundred and fifty feet away, close enough for me to understand the immensity of the statue and its simple, graceful lines. I am a lapsed Catholic, but I tell you, I got chills up and down my spine. “That’s incredible,” I said as the helicopter”

“The Severed Nose. What would you do if you came home one evening and found a severed nose lying on a plate on your dining room table?   Disposal. Frank, a self-proclaimed scumbag, is hired to murder an old man...but the old bastard just won't DIE!!!   Elrod McBugle on the Loose.
