...Chief Justice Earl Warren to Mobster Frank Costello. Generous and impulsive, he once dropped more than $60,000 on a World Series bet, and would carry down-and-out customers on the cuff for months on end. Master of the boorish putdown, he called his famous customers "creeps" and "crumb-bums." "If he doesn't insult you, he doesn't love you," Actor Pat O'Brien once said.

If one could envisage a fairground produced by Robert Crumb and Krazy Kat out of Dr. Caligari's Cabinet, this would be it. The Ruckus group are omnivores, infatuated with New York, and you are never allowed to forget it. Archie Peltier, an artist from Minneapolis, was responsible for most of the engineering, and his handiwork is impressive. People can walk up inside...
