CHAPTER 331 Thereupon the followers quickly awashed their hands of everything,
2 And went gladly with Harry,
3 bAnd their names were Ned, and Jerry, and Sam, and Tom, and Ira, and Vinnie, and Willie, and Joe, and Mort, and Tony, and Fred,
4 Plus a guy named cLucky,
5 Who hadn't gone to college in Boston,
6 But was with Harry anyway,
7 And also maybe one of the other new followers hadn't gone to college in Boston,
8 Even though the others thought he did,
9 Because he was just sort of there,
10 And didn't exactly say where he was from.
CHAPTER 341 dFrom Boston, Harry and the followers went ehere and there,
2 Crisscrossing the country so that Harry could help people fwash their hands of everything,
3 gAnd stop thinking about anything at all,
4 hWhich they did gladly,
5 iBecause five or six college kids had recently died for their beliefs,
6 jWhich was so discouraging to all the idealists that they were giving up their ideals,
7 In droves,
8 kAnd thinking about how to get ahead,
9 And have an easy life,
10 lAnd let somebody else fix all the terrible things that were wrong with the Most Chosen Nation on Earth.

11 Naturally, they all mloved what Harry had to say,
12 And the followers got free drugs wherever they went,
13 And they got free everything else on Harry's Learjet,
14 Not to mention his house in Malibu,
15 And a lot of the best hotels at the best weekend resorts,
16 And everybody was happy,
17 And nobody was thinking about much of anything at all,
18 Except maybe Harry.
CHAPTER 351 By now, Harry was getting to be pretty famous,
2 nIn certain circles, anyway,
3 Because of all the great things he was saying,
4 Which made life sound like it could be a lot easier,
5 All things considered,
6 And so he decided that it might be nice to go back to his ohometown for a while,
7 pAnd see what kind of greeting he'd get.
CHAPTER 361 Harry's hometown was a place called qPhiladelphia,
2 rWhich was pretty much of a pit,
3 Starting with the airport,
4 Which was too big and dirty to walk through,
5 And so the spilot parked the Learjet way out on some distant runway,
6 And the Angels had a whole bunch of tcars brought out to pick up Harry and his followers,
7 And then everybody went to town.
