In this article, the fictitious character Drifter focuses on Riga. Riga is a newspaper office city. It may have a geographic location. It may be populated with individuals absorbed in their own affairs, eating well, sleeping well, dreaming of owning automobiles. Once, in a moment of inexcusable curiosity, Drifter says he went to the trouble of hunting up Riga in the Encyclopedia Britannica. That fount of current information describes it as a thriving port on the Baltic Sea, from which agricultural products, chiefly oats, are exported to England.
