Well if it takes all night 5 boxes of paper 3 gallons of Dektol and a bottle
of scotch to make one print then how enviable is that?

You have to appreatate the result without thinking about what went into it.
Smith as a  guy with as many problems that you'd not want to as attributes
you'd want to have. If the price of greatness means being that troubled of a
person I'd think a minutes and try to take a more disciplined route.
