...turned pseudo-Freudian mind-sweeper, has great faith in Sam ("it comes from Bombay, the farfetched East"). Under Hackett's lunatic gaze, Sam's face turns red, as well it might, since in Act I the crystal ball mismatches two pairs of lovers: an arm-twisting loan shark (Steve Roland) with a taffy-sweet Ferris-wheel operator (Karen Morrow), and a glib but honest-hearted Coney barker (Richard Kiley) with a roundheeled golddigger (Luba Lisa).

But his most exotic source of supply is a species of small shark, the lesser spotted dogfish (Scyliorhinus caniculus). Its cornea has the advantage of not swelling in water, which made it attractive to Dr. Payrau for patients whose eyes leak fluid, though it is thin and fragile and retains only moderate transparency...
