...distributes a weekly newspaper and hosts lectures and readings, according to the various advertisements adorning the store’s interior. While O’Leary says that the traffic in the store varies drastically, Revolution was going slowly Saturday evening. A man in dreadlocks and a Che Guevara hat browsed the offerings, but exited before FM could speak to him, warning his fellow compatriots: “Watch out for the mainstream press!” The other two customers in the store took his warning to heart, refusing to reveal their names to FM.

The division is amusing to banter about, with the same appeal as an old-fashioned Western, before it becomes real—good and evil are starkly defined, and in theory, wearing the white hat will surely make up for having to order one drink instead of four when out on the town with financier buddies. Meanwhile, the appeal of being able to order the four drinks goes without saying...
