nouncement of Mrs. Sowers that “only the nose knows.” She is precisely correct, and that’s the whole point. All of her technical data means nothing when that awful stench hits you when you try to shop in Front Royal or even, often enough 10 or 20 miles away at night when you open a bedroom window hoping for sweet night air. The nose knows: it knows a horrible smell when it smells it. And the stench goes on and on. Perhaps that’s what Mrs. Sowers meant by the “multiplying effect” in Front Royal (and far beyond) of the $20,000,000 FMC * payroll.
