...dress a year, if available. Because of a similar shortage of spare parts, appliances and machines are constantly breaking down. Anything that does run fetches a capitalist's ransom. A nine-year-old G.E. refrigerator that "still cools" brought $2,000 in Havana recently; a rusted-out 1960 Buick went for $10,400-despite the fact that severe gas rationing keeps most cars at home...
