Abstract

[Prologue] To the North, tucked beside the Adirondack Mountains, lay the suburban town of Bethlehem, an average town filled with ordinary people. The nearest city, Albany, was a small city with few attractions, so that natives who saw the tourist stand at the airport would wonder why tourists would ever visit. Indeed, few did. Despite the mediocrity that existed in the place, the people of Bethlehem held for it a fierce pride – they bragged about its boredom rather than renounced it.
