Dear Mr. Buckley:
An acquaintance inflicted the gift of a piranha with appropriate aquarium and paraphernalia on me. For six or seven months now I have had to put up with gurgling water, whirring motors, and the uneasy feeling that I am a potential meal. My office is so laid out that the aquarium is approximately four feet from a cupboard wherein I store a television set. The piranha, named Charles, seldom watches television, being far more interested in reviewing whatever documents I happen to be working on. However, on two occasions we have observed Charles watching Firing Line. It is rather obvious when the goofy fish is watching television, as the television set is a foot higher than the aquarium and the fish must position himself at an angle to observe the screen.
