While going through a bunch of old junk today, I came across something a
friend had used with a speech synthesizer on a PDP-11 (an old Votrax from
Federal Screw Works). The old timers have probably seen it already. Take
the enclosed story, put it in a file called 'story', and enter the command

    say -s200 -p150 -x story

See if you can figure it all out.
