?Down these mean streets a man must go.? For hard-boiled heroes, it used to be that way. But not any more. The streets are now far meaner than anything Raymond Chandler could have imagined when he wrote this classic description of the hard-boiled hero.

Like the frog, we keep adjusting and reacting to the increasing health and ecological hazards to satisfy our expectations and demands for more comforts, greater convenience and easier living.
