...hitherto peaceful districts like Montgomery and Lyallpur there is not one town which has not been a battlefield. There is no bazaar which has not been burned out.

When participants gather this week in Chicago for the annual bazaar, however, the hot topic of conversation will not be whether Zaxxon or Keystone Kapers will unseat Centipede as the industry's bestselling videogame.
