(GRUDGE MATCH) In this corner: Andrew Bleeker, youngish, bespectacled
Stranger intern who almost won the last Seattle Spelling Bee. In that corner: his nemesis, Randy Hilfman, a
middle-aged Eddie Bauer copyeditor and bee champion whose orthographical prowess suggests a dark deal with the devil. In the crowd: you, drinking, tense;
the suspense is killing. In the shadows: me, lurking, waiting for an opportunity to slip Randy a roofie. (
