Beer cans, eggs, paint, soda bottles, chunks of concrete, and pieces of steel showered from Manhattan skyscrapers. One girl was struck on the head by a bottle of paint dropped from a thirtieth floor window. The paint splattered fifty feet and the girl was taken to a hospital unconscious...
...eleven years since he was killed in a car crack-up at the age of 44, Abstract Expressionist Jackson Pollock, fabled for his whiplash paintings, truculent insistence on wearing cowboy boots, and his drunken rages, has ceased to be regarded as a guru among his fellow artists. A more sophisticated public is no longer shocked by the fact that he dribbled and threw paint at his monumental canvases instead of applying it with a brush.

Before the days of cheap, non-corrosive metals, it was widely used for sluice boxes, water tanks, pipelines, pier piles, fences and wine casks. Today, homeowners use it for outdoor terraces and to panel both exteriors and interiors. So well does the wood sell that profits sometimes exceed 25% of total earnings. The Arcata Redwood Co., for instance, made...
