          SC:  How long do you think you can hide certain basic facts 
               from a trained attorney like Fowler?  A good lawyer 
               has to live with the facts and make the truth work for 
               him. 

          JF:  The Schuster child may be disturbed.  But one fact 
               remains.  That child saw what happened on the wharf
