Inscriptions and Marks Signed: l.r.: Sister Mary Corita (not assigned): Printed text reads: [Give the gang] our best / [NO]W! / Reality proves very little; it indicates a great deal, by way of epiphany of signs which always accompany mystery like the influence cast off by radioactive material. Knowledge therefore has all the imprecision of involvement, rather than the "clarity and distinctness" of logic. D.
