IN THE COUNTRY OF THE BLIND, THE ONE-EYED MAN, OF COURSE, IS KING. BUT HOW ABOUT A LIVE WIRE, A SMART BUSINESSMAN, IN A CIVILIZATION OF 100% PURE CHUMPS? SOME THINGS HAD NOT CHANGED. A POTTER'S WHEEL WAS STILL A POTTER'S WHEEL AND CLAY WAS STILL CLAY. EFIM HAWKINS HAD BUILT HIS SHOP NEAR GOOSE LAKE, WHICH HAD A NARROW BAND OF GOOD FAT CLAY AND A NARROW BEACH OF WHITE SAND. HE FIRED THREE BOTTLE-NOSED KILNS WITH WILLOW CHARCOAL FROM THE WOOD LOT.

A BUSINESS CONFERENCE WAS IN FULL SWING IN HIS SHOP, A MODEST CUBE OF BRICK, TILE-ROOFED, AS THE CHICAGO-LOS ANGELES "ROCKET" THUNDERED OVERHEAD-VERY NOISY, VERY SWEPT-BACK, VERY FIERY JETS, SHAPED AS SLEEKLY SWIFT-LOOKING AS AN AIRBORNE BARRACUDA.

"THIS IS REAL PRETTY," HE TOLD HAWKINS AND HIS OWN SECRETARY, GOMEZ-LAPLACE. "THIS HAS GOT LOTS OF WHAT YA CALL REAL EST'ETIC PRINCIPLES. YEAH, IT IS REAL PRETTY."
