This article would have been a lot better with a bit of context at the beginning. I vaguely remember hearing something about the "$400 hammer" contract, but he speaks of "the bolt" and "the hammer" as if we're continuing a conversation. Otherwise, good article.


Agreed. I vaguely recall some Doonesbury or Bloom County jokes about it in the eighties.

Apparently there was also a $7,600 coffee maker.
