nuclear piles, motorhomes, milk cartons, lipsticks, lawnmowers, lava lamps, Kleenex holders, Jacuzzis, hula-hoops, house boats, gravy boats, golf carts, footballs, fondue sets, drinks trolleys, cameras, bottles, beds, airliners--all those splendid Things that made up the sum of the world, which we had to keep on making and buying to keep ourselves diverted and employed--were just garbage-to-be.
