If Intelligence Were A Television Set, It Would Be An Early Black-and-white Model With Poor Reception, So That Much Of The Picture Was Gray And The Figures On The Screen Were Snowy And Indistinct. You Could Fiddle With The Knobs All You Wanted, But Unless You Were Careful, What You Would See Often Depended More On What You Expected Or Hoped To See Than On What Was Really There.
