abstract	Jim Summers was an employee of Blue Front, frequently working with Aaron Finch. Summers was thoroughly bigoted, disdaining communists, Jews, and African-Americans. Ironically, his employer, Herschel Weissman was Jewish. So was Aaron Finch, but Finch did not tell Summers this. Summers survived the atomic bombing of Los Angeles on March 2, 1951, but his work hours were reduced due to the loss of business. In April, when an order for a refrigerator came by letter from one Mrs. O'Byrnne in Torrance, Weissman happily sent Summers and Finch to deliver it, despite the fact that the rubble of downtown L.A. lay between the Blue Front warehouse in Glendale and the residence in Torrance. Summers wanted to do the driving because he feared Finch would want to cut close to the ruins for a look exposing them to the residual radiation but Weissman insisted otherwise. Finch did drive as close as he could. Their trip, which was circuitous by necessity, brought them close to a refugee camp, a sign that promised that looters would be shot, the rubble of several city landmarks, and the corpse hanging from a lamppost with a placard with the word THIEF around his neck. They arrived at Mrs. O'Byrrne's residence and successfully made their delivery. On their way back, Summers asked that Finch avoid the rubble. Finch agreed. He also commented that Mrs. O'Byrne resembled Katharine Hepburn which Finch didn't see. This article is a stub because the work is part of a larger, as-of-yet incomplete series.
