Convoluted Efforts. The veterans nearly did not make it to the Mall, owing to the convoluted legal efforts of the Justice Department, which wound up with egg on its face. The week before, department lawyers got a restraining order from U.S. District Court Judge George L. Hart Jr., which forbade the vets to camp out on the Mall. A three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals overruled Hart early last week, but at the Government's request, Chief Justice Warren Burger reinstated the restraining order a day later.

...Jobs. While he waited, Kosinski carried a foil-wrapped egg of cyanide in his pocket and kept repeating to himself, "No matter what, I am going to depart." Miraculously, his scheme worked. On Dec. 20, 1957, he arrived at Idlewild Airport, completing what he considers the greatest creative act of his life...

By nailing upturned bottle caps to a board, the kids can make a front-door footscraper. These days, rejasers even dump junked cars neatly offshore: the hulks act like coral reefs, attracting fish-and fishermen...
...make abstract sculptures. On one wall, a shadow-box assemblage of coffee-can keys and lead wine labels forms a witty collage of "medals"-a spoof on Allner's many legitimate art prizes. Other elegant murals and sculptures turn out, on inspection, to be composed of Styrofoam egg cartons and packing materials that Allner particularly admires. "Besides," he wryly adds, "the foam looks better than the cracked plaster behind...
