First Sentence
In a film comedy by Thomas Edison, a man carrying a lunch pail hurries up to a subway kiosk, shakes the hand of a subway official seated just inside the entry, rushes down the steps, leaps down onto the track, lights a stick of dynamite-and is then seen shooting through the subway tunnel, arms outstretched, ribbons of cloth fluttering at his sides.
