pATIUCIA I~YAN AND I WERE IN nED，
\"/ou know，\" I said， \"I ve been thinking. How long have we
been， uh... dating now?\"
\" Dating， \" she laughed. \"Now there s an expression you
rarely hear anymore.\"
\"Going steady?\"
\"Worse. Isn t that what they do in junior high?\"
\"I don t think they even do it there these days. Words tend
to disappear from the language when what they stand for
becomes obsolete， you know. And what s steady in modem life?
Where s the rock on which to build? The only ones out there
are the ones you founder on. If there re no constants， then you
could hardly \"go steady，\" eh? Who d know that better than the
kids? They probably go awry or something like that.\"
\"Loren， you have a terrible sense of humor.\"
I bowed slightly. It was as close to a compliment as I ever
got for nay penetrating insights.
\"Plus you have a rather gloomy philosophy of life.\"
\"I can t help it. It goes with the job.\"
\"And what job would that be?\"
