The cozy brick houses, which for most residents represented every worldly attainment, popped like paper bags. Cars were wrecked, appliances were smashed, and through the air sailed all the paraphernalia of modern suburban living: lawn mowers, luggage, and furniture from Levitz, bicycles, bassinets, and Barbie Doll dresses, discount china and fire-sale chintz. At Arrowhead Elementary, the roof vanished and the windows exploded.
