  Proposed Missouri Homeowners Fair Play Act
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.

This is clearly (at least in my book) another example of unfair play or fair game in Crews's book (by fair game, of course, I mean something like the American colloquialism according to which when something is fair game, you are permitted to go after it, attack or even destroy it).
He is also clearly having fun (fair enough) with something like the following idea: where a book is itself deconstructive, as it were, the deconstructors are forced to a hapless silence.
To be fair to Crews, he mentions in his acknowledgements that the chapter in question is based on a lecture given at a conference which probably (I can only guess this) predates the publication of my own book.
