     Standbys.  Better than nothing, I suppose, but not much better.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, DAL SHANG?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed 
to see SORRELISHE win a fight and gain 9 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, CHAEGO SARILDAN 
beat BOBIKA VHETT and BOBIKA VHETT lost 7 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And if 
variety is the spice of life, DAL SHANG may be getting bland, as GRIZOLPOP stays top 
dog in the city.  Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think 
some of these guys win their fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave 
team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     What does the DAL SHANG arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Phlllt!  Just had to do that 
before I leave the fine city of DAL SHANG.  I feel much better now.  Glad to see the 
back of this place-- Snide Clemens
