Celebrity Status

...get rid of one, here comes another
to take its place. Lined up like dominoes,
waiting in the wings for their chance to appear
onstage. What is it they want? Front
page headlines in six point type? Breaking
news coverage on all of the TV stations? First
names so recognizable they don't need
last ones to know who they are? Photogs
hovering, even satellites getting caught up in
the excitement trying to catch a glimpse
of their eye? Tropical systems must have one
hell of an agent for all of the press they're getting...
