  "There are those who argue that everything breaks even in this old 
dump of a world of ours. I suppose these ginks who argue that way hold 
that because the rich man gets ice in the summer and the poor man gets 
it in the winter things are breaking even for both. Maybe so, but I'll 
swear I can't see it that way."
