...only a hop, skip and a "people's tribunal" to their decision to pay no rent at all and proclaim that, for Bandy and his property at least, the revolution was here. Bandy is poorly cast as Miffland's capitalist pig. He publicly criticized Mayor William Dyke in May 1969, when police broke up an unauthorized block party, touching off a three-day riot.

In short, "I've got a splitting headache. It's more than I can bear. I'll have to take an APC tablet." When it comes to the strain of Strine, in fact, those tablets may be the only remedy...
