Interesting.  But somebody Very Big thought it was neat stuff and didn't
get your contrarecommendation.  I've seen it at Rockefeller Center, too,
often broken up into big chunks and incorporated into terrrazzo.

Meanwhile I'd like a more literary, even more published (if much less
readable) source than Our Favorite Pyrate.  Anybody got anything?
