...Cafe." -during the summer of 1912, it is quite easy to imagine Miller's Willy Loman as well as Albee's George and Martha in quite the same milieu. Iceman -along with the two more familiar war-horses of the American theatre-is suffused with the mist of many pipe dreams. Harry Hope, who hasn't stepped outside of his establishment since the death of his wife twenty years past, dreams of taking a "walk around the ward" to reestablish his political contacts; Willy Loman dreams of being "liked, well liked," while George and Martha carry on about the existence...
...that was then either. I thought it was like heroin. I thought it was really bad. This chick who was a friend of his said, "Why don't you come up and smoke some?" So I went up there and started smoking it out of this Chinese opium pipe. We smoked it for a long time. Finally I climbed down...

...noisemakers. The beetles' mewling toot is replaced by full-throated klaxons that belt out bars of hard-rock music or soar into the oscillating wail of European ambulances. The VW's short-stroke engine remains untouched, but its exhaust is channeled through complicated "extractors" or straight pipe "resonators" that make the humble bug sound like a snarling Ferrari or thundering Offenhauser. A less expensive gimmick is to wire a bottle of water under the exhaust pipe, where it produces a joyous shriek as exhaust blasts across its top. Thus, cars that leave the factories merely muttering turn...
