It’s on a river and it’s got houses and stores and churches. And a main street. Nothing fancy like Broadway or Market, just plain Broadway. Drug, dry good, shoes. Those horrible little chain stores that breed like rabbits.”
    —Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)

    gaining a pound and a half a day,
    you rolled-up pair of socks,
    you dog’s nightmare....”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
