Its hard to know with the Herald Times, they play a little fast and loose with quotations, but someone is said to have called the Shalom Center and said "watch out for the boom". A boom is another name for a wrecking ball, there used to be a commercial in Indianapolis in the 70's with a wrecking ball in it, Gramps made sure I was very aware of that commercial. Eventually they stopped running it. I was so young I didn't know the difference between commercials and TV shows, I thought it was part of Hee Haw somehow.
Anyway, just doing a little community service with my MA in Applied Linguistics.
