- Summary
- In a neutral area of the Terror Zone, two women await to cross the range of gunfire, one with a baby carriage, the other on bicycle. Both have faced death many times, and the discussion they have which makes up the content of Mednick's "jazz operetta" reveals a horrifying world in which there is little hope for a future - much like the inner-city ghettos of today. Yet these women are proud, stubborn, insistent in their intent to live more normal lives and to resume their movement up the switchback.
- The ending is as inevitable as tomorrow morning's headlines.
