In the ensuing silence, Perry White could barely stifle the grin spreading over his normally gruff and stoic features. Never before had he heard such pure, unadulterated laughter coming from the mouth of his top reporter; she had been practically giggling on her way out this evening. Yes, Clark Kent was definitely proving to be a delightful influence on "Mad Dog Lane."
