Text, in full: \"What the hell: Easter greetings, said Willy the Kaiser to Nicky the Czar: best wishes for a pleasant 1908. Those boys. Maybe I've got the gag wrong. Anyway, it is a good line. What does Bill Faulkner do when he feels so low he would like to turn Nazi and burn all the books ever written? That's the way I feel now. Saturday night is a hell of a night in America. I'm staying out of it this night.
