Laptop speaking

I opened my laptop and a message in the center of the screen began reading itself aloud: “Hello, Michael. Mr. Eisenhower” — or was it Adenauer? — “has been waiting patiently for you. He is interested not in injecting the incredible but in removing it.”

In other words, Mr. E. or A. was interested in bringing about a return to (so-called) normalcy.

A likely source for this dream: Saturday night’s movie, Pretty Poison (dir. Noel Black, 1968), now streaming as part of the Criterion Channel feature Hollywood Crack-Up: The Decade American Cinema Lost Its Mind. The character Morton Azenauer (John Randolph) is a parole officer supervising a newly released arsonist.
