A Beatles 45, but no record player. Cigarettes but no matches. I guess the laundry soap is to wash the bikini.

He had a nice looking miniature model sculpture of the earth from the fair site placed there too. Another fact, at least of about a decade ago, the Fair Site *still* exists as a park, and this ASTONISHING, and still maintained-if-not-updated (WTC?) football field sized model of Manhattan is still an attraction. Each building is there, with lights, so they cycle the time of day as you walk around it. THEY DON'T EVEN SHOW IT IN THIS ARTICLE and I can't find an image of it online. Ah, FOUND it: http://jschumacher.typepad.com/photos/new_york_panorama/panorama_7.html It's now part of the Queens Museum of Art. What these days comes close to that is Google Maps, which has a tab for showing buildings in shadowed but architecturally detailed format.

I remember my father telling me about all the attractions and magic of the fair when I was a kid. I alwyas asked him when the next one was gonna be, and he always answered that he hoped it would be soon. This new book came out, 'The End of the Innocence The 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair' which I find really explores lot of what the fair grew to symbloize: the hope for the future.
