Jerry appears to be a time traveler (or maybe God) involved with Hitler and the democratic
movement in Romania, but I really didn’t get it. Even so, it was fun to see the bicycle he
rides as a time machine, which shares a description with the time machine in “Behold the
Man.”
The time machine was a sphere of milky fluid attached to the front lamp-holder of a
Raleigh “Royal Albert” Police Bicycle of the old, sturdy type, before all the
corruption had been made public.
