There is a crack in the Liberty Bell, a few chips off the Washington Monument, the fountain of youth is but a myth, and, yes, Virginia, there is no Santa Claus. Still, they try to reach perfection; after all, Edmund Hillary could scale Mt. Everest, and who knows, Mt. Olympus might be next. In Cambridge the Fuller Construction Company built Quincy House.

There has been "an unavoidable delay in completing the house's interior." And so, like the man who came to dinner, the Fuller Construction Company must remain; Art has been postponed for several fortnights at least.
