Rick has some friends in galleries around town, and he often considers showing them his work. "I've been playing too close to my vest," he says. "I'm scared--no one wants to be rejected." The competition looks very good, he says, and it intimidates him. "There are some people who when I look at their pictures I wonder why I didn't take up hairdressing." There is an everlasting division between artist photographers and working photographers evidenced for Rick in his difficulty in making ties at Carpenter Center.

...even more astonishing feat was accomplished by Cambridge Mathematician Alan Turing. Turing was a pure eccentric, a runner who "would on occasion arrive at conferences at the Foreign Office in London having run the 40 miles from Bletchley in old flannels and a vest with an alarm clock tied with binder twine around his waist."

He lit into "When I Paint My Masterpiece," an ironic song, loosely based on the scene in Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night where Dick Diver wanders around Rome and decides he will never be a great writer...
...school of animation. In less than fifteen seconds, blobs expand into cocktail parties and a pudgy businessman is isolated; he sprouts into the air, his legs become the World Trade Towers with New York at his feet, his cigar turns into innumerable smokestacks, and neon signs spring from his vest: WORK! PROSPERITY! BIG BUSINESS...
