They had lost $100,000 worth of merchandise during the blackout and had not yet learned whether their personal disaster was covered by insurance. Explained Wiener bitterly: "Our policy covers damage by riots, but the mayor hasn't declared this a riot." Down the street, Polish-born Harry Sperber figured that he had to restock...

"You've got to hit consistently," shot back Finley...
...seeds of its own most pressing problems were sown. And at the same time as Jim Rippe, an artisan in an age dominated by machines, waxes a trifle sentimental about the early nineteenth century, he makes fun of his own nostalgia by leavening his antiquarianism with cheerfully anachronistie Day-Glo colors and plastic. The final irony is that every piece in the show is made of material which is totally unsuitable for internal-combustion engines...
