"The Tower of Death"
"[IME, that writer of history, is slowly moving its finger over the few remaining strongholds of savagery and romance, and leaving behind it the mark of modernity. In old Bokhara there is a tall tower, in for.n something like a pepper-pot or typical lighthouse. It is "The Tower of Death," and it is so named because it was once used for executions. But no longer are the bowstring and the scimitar used there; they have given place to the violi string and the dulcimer, for the gri tower is now a part of a broadcasting station, and the things that are executed there are called "Ops."
