Its imaginary inhabitant was one "Walter Plinge," a Tile Club artist who, they decided, had bought the real Hook Mill from the Dominy family to prevent its falling into the clutches of the Chicago World's Fair Committee in the late 19th century.
Plinge had removed the wooden shafts and put them into storage, converting the mill's interior into a Victorian bachelor's pad outfitted with modern-day conveniences and delft china from the Netherlands, depicting blue windmills.
Plinge's imagined predilections for hats, music, mills, and women were all reflected in "his" choice of tiny dŽcor, although the dollhouse itself was built true to architectural plans for Hook Mill that the pair had found in Washington.

Plinge had drive and power as Caesar as well as some sort of inner life.
In the lead role of Brutus, Matt Samson was most believable discussing his politics, less believable with his betrayal and murder of Caesar, and downright false with his wife and her untimely end.
Besides Plinge, Beverly Bartlett, Davis Rushing, and Daniel Sawka as the other accomplices in Caesar's murder seemed the only ones in the cast with any intention and resonance on that stage.

 What matters?
While working on the abridgement of Plinge’s essay, I read with interest an open E-letter on the subject of commodity linked exchanges from Michael Rowbotham, author of The Grip of Death and Goodbye America (Jon Carpenter, 1998 and 2000).
In the E-letter, to Chris Keene, Coordinator of the Anti-Globalisation Network - chris.keene@which.net, Michael writes that aligning currencies according to commodity prices was a key element in the International Clearing Union proposals that British economist John Maynard Keynes brought to the table at the Bretton Woods Conference in New Hampshire in 1944.
Walt Plinge knows that, yet brings into play in the essay that I have abridged an element of fun, without which, I would say, there is no point to change — and anyway no chance of the needed break through to a global economy grounded in local exchange currencies that people can delight in.
