SEATTLE.-The rubber-m what there
is left of it-was slapping against the
macadam, and old Sol was smiling all over
the sky. We were driving the General
Motors fugitive along Eastlake Avenue to·
ward the University Bridge, squinting out
the window for signs of a quick remedy for
parch~d throat, whep we spotted it: a neat,
cozy lIttle tavern set off the main street. A
bright neon sign read: "Red Robin."
In less time than it takes to push the
plunger of a coin game, we were straddling
a stool and calling for the amber fluid. The
lady behind the counter turned briskly and
scooped up a glass. And then she stopped
and looked at us-and gave out with that
wide, warm smile that used to knock sales
resistance for a loop in the days when sales
resistance stood like Gibralter before the
cash register. Maybel Dace, the woman who
guided the sales rudder of Harper.Meggee's
record departm~nt to giddy heights, looked
