Neville reports reading in that day's paper about a wave of arson fires against A&P grocery stores in the east, attributed to organized crime figures the press called 'the Mafia' after A&P rejected a fire-extinguishing product they had tried to sell the chain. He cites the more than fifty million dollars in resulting damage as an example of the incomprehensible horrors reported daily in the news.
