the Gentle Cabinet: Gentle at large — the border tour and the acromegalic infants — "WHACKS CHAMPAGNE BOTTLES AGAINST MASSIVE LUCITE…"

The founding ritualized: Gentle "TOURS NEW 'NEW-NEW' ENGLAND BORDER" and christens the new frontier by "WHACK[ING] CHAMPAGNE BOTTLES AGAINST MASSIVE LUCITE WALLS" where Syracuse, Concord, and Salem used to be — the Reconfiguration inaugurated like a ship-launch, the lost cities named only as the ground the wall now stands south of. Against the celebration runs the dissenting header — "CRANIALLY CHALLENGED, ACROMEGALIC INFANTS LOST IN EXPERIALIST SHUFFLE?" — the deformed-birth cost of the dump surfacing as one paper's editorial question while the President breaks bottles on the wall.
