    Can The Land Surveyor Save Iraq?

    K. brandished his letter from Klamm as if it were a talisman of good fortune. "I am recommended to appear before Klamm in the Green Zone on Saturday to receive my instructions to begin the survey of Republican Iraq! You will be building schools, and hospitals and art galleries, no doubt. I am anxious to begin." He was trying to sound confident, even believed that he was.

    K. was dismayed when Amelia laughed at his face: "But you know nothing of Klamm, Land Surveyor!, you do not even know that you as much as the least child of the Green Zone! Could you bear to even hear his voice were you ever so lucky as to be called into his chambers? Just listen to him talk, foolish Land Surveyor!"
