And Eddie's adolescent home boasts a velvet painting of John F. Kennedy, while the ghost-daughter of May's own past bounces behind her on a motel bed, and hugs her, crying, in the foreground of a rusted swingset...

Raymond Loewy designed an exhibit called "Rocketport of the Future," and Norman Bel Geddes' "Futurama," the most popular exhibit, was a scale model of a perfect, antiseptic cityscape. "Strange?
