A folksy old lady called Aunt Martha, of Riverhead, Long Island, moans over "this creeping menace of real estate, these acres and acres of housing colonies, shopping centers, garish neon lights blazing all night long, and every other kind of desecration of beautiful Long Island." At nearly every stop...
