The Old Reactor — David Ohle

A sequel of sorts to David Ohle's classic Motorman, bringing the character Moldenke back to life . . .

In those days Moldenke was so full of passion for the labor movement his nose bled when he spoke of it. He could be seen day after day going up and down Esplanade Avenue with a few like-minded friends passing out his pamphlet, "Fair Play for the Working Stiff." He had to take care, though, of his bowel. At any time it could make sudden demands. Wherever he picketed, wherever he passed out leaflets, he had to be aware of the nearest public toilet.
