...least 20,000 of the fist-size mollusks infest a 50-acre residential section of North Miami; more have been spotted in Hollywood ten miles to the north. Tough, ravenous creatures, whose original home is East Africa, they have chewed up large stretches of grass, stripped the bark off trees, feasted on citrus plants and even devoured paint off buildings-a handy source of calcium for snails' shells...

The judges ruled that the Fourth Amendment protects a man's trash can as well as his home because the can is "an adjunct of the domestic economy."

This is where the play actually begins, and the events that follow have resonances of The Homecoming-though Irish Playwright Thomas Murphy's play was produced four years before Pinter's. The brothers make passes at Michael's wife and even suggest using his home as a whorehouse. Michael is faced down, raged at and humiliated by his father, who is a perfect blend of aging bull and undiminished blarney. Michael's wife urges him to stand up for his rights. But he is paralyzed by a nagging sense of masculine inadequacy...
