Abruptly she decides to go roller-skating at the Roxy Roller Rink, a hangar-sized, strobe-lit, hard-rock hell just north of Manhattan's Greenwich Village, where she is capable of circulating for eight hours at a time.

At the nearby Cedar Bar, Jackson Pollock caroused, Robert Motherwell discoursed, Willem de Kooning waxed disputatious.
