The witness to the subway shootings was literally underground when the incident
happened, of course. I wonder why he went back down there, though. Of course,
the word 'literally' is misplaced. As it is, it appears to modify the verb
'went'. How else would one go, if not literally? He figuratively went under-
ground? He virtually went underground? He logically went underground?

| Well, if the subway shootings had a fatal effect, then the *victim(s)*
literally went underground. :-)
Some years back, a big-name conductor (I don't recall who it was) was
guest-conducting the symphony orchestra in Minneapolis, and he raised a
stink when he saw the advertisements for the concert mentioning that
his conducting "literally sets the house on fire". I should see if I can
dig up the copy that I have of that flyer.

| When, of course, they all meant `illiterately'.

| In yesterday's Iran/Contra hearing, Congressman Henry Hyde (Rep. - Ill.)
complained that the Boland amendment (which restricts U.S. support
for the Contras) was passed as part of an eleventh-hour conglomerate
appropriations bill, at which time they "literally held a gun to
the President's head" to force him to sign the bill against his will.
