This may be a Final Chronicles spoiler: Thomas Covenant is alive and well and working at the Department of Revenue.
And the building where he works is triggering his asthma symptoms.

Alas, no, he does not appear in the video clip.

Nice link, wayfriend!
But some say that's not good enough, "I don't want them to consider, I want them to move these people out. Because these people are in danger for their physical health," adds Covenant.
If only he had added "It's not that simple!".......
"The plural of antecdotes is not evidence."

Thomas Covenant: "Within 2 hours I'd start having hay fever attacks and also I'll be blowing my nose and nose congestion and all that. And then normally within 4 hours I'd have to start taking the Albuterol inhaler. And after that I would pass out and wake up high atop Lord Kevin's Watch in a land ... no, in The Land ... where every decision I make could destroy time itself!"
Interviewer: "Thank you, Mr. Covenant. That is fascinating!" [Aside to cameraman: "It's okay Bill. We'll just cut out that last part before we go to print..."]

How did you find that? (Maybe a better question is why ?) It's great, but you may just have a little too much time on your hands...

Practice makes perfect - or maybe pariah. Perhaps both?
Litmus test: a good pun makes you groan. A great pun liquefies your liver. (I'm told that Distilled Chicken has the same effect)

I wonder what he thinks about there being a whole forum about him.
I wonder if he knows.
I wonder what it'd be like to tell him.

You guys obviously don't have enough spare time on your hands: do a My Space or Facebook search and you'll find there's more than one Thomas Covenant in the world!
