This is how it came about. I was writing copy for an advertising agency in Chicago when I was offered a job as rewrite man on a magazine in San Francisco. When I got to San Francisco the first staff member my new boss introduced me to was Elisabeth. As the boss and I entered the room, she was sitting at a desk with a window at her back. She was wearing a dark red blouse. Something went tick somewhere inside of me, and I knew that something had happened.
