- Ahh, but White TOWERS were once quite common on the East Coast, so if
- President Bill could find one open, he could buy a bagful to munch on
- during cabinet meetings. White Towers, of course, were similar enough
- to White Castles that they were successfully sued by the latter chain in
- the '30s. This is probably what one reader said he saw in Baltimore;
- there were probably a dozen in the area.

- 2d Man: "Oh, yeah?"
- 1st Man: "Yeah, the White Tower."
