I'm worried that one day people will wake up and discover that a major military power has been created in the region...
...starts once upon a summer day in Vermont." A half-naked Lorelei picks up a child-man who is working on roads for the county. The simpleton extends "his tarry hand." Immediately the voluptuous girl steals a pale blue pickup truck and waits for him on the soft shoulder of the highway.

Past the Winter Garden where Cats plays on, past Dunkin' Donuts' 46 varieties, past the topless temptresses of movie marquees, past the T-Shirt Express, past the half-hour photo store, past the mendicant * saxophone player on the corner. Decked out, some in black leather jackets, others in pink high-tops and bobby-sox, a jaunty tweed cap here, a brightly colored scarf there, they jaywalk across 48th Street in twos and threes, dodging yellow taxis. Quick! Into an alley, up a metal...
