Pat Price was one of the sharpest promoters in the Hollywood public relations game. He was in the Wilshire Boulevard bar mooning around for inspiration for a kinescoped show he was building up into a package, when he saw the sheeted anesthetized body as the telelens saw it. 
Then he saw it as his miasmatic Muse saw it.
