The FAIR Plan, for example, has notified MDI that it will not replace damaged siding and roofs, such as occurred in St. Louis, using the same criteria the state requires of all insurers.
The FAIR Plan's scope is expanded from only basic residential and commercial fire (plus builders' risk and vandalism) policies to the regular coverage offered by Missouri property insurers, including full-scale homeowners, commercial fire and dwelling fire with earthquake endorsements for residences and other available options.
The FAIR Plan would have to issue an acceptance or declination within three business days after an application and inspection report are filed and issue a policy effective immediately on the date when the premium is received.

 "Fair Play" by Brian Montopoli
For its time, the fair was impossibly grand, the biggest American event since the Civil War; it would introduce Cracker Jacks, Aunt Jemima's pancake mix ("slave in a box," as its makers dubbed it), the Ferris Wheel, and a whole host of other products, as well as popularizing the new miracle of alternating current.
But the fair's greatest feat was convincing Americans that cities need not merely be filled with pragmatic structures in which form followed function; the fair's mere existence seemed to argue that the city could be beautiful.
But Holmes's presence in the book is vital, not least because, for all its focus on the fair, this is largely a work about a forgotten Chicago, a city oddly regal in its sweat and stench.
