Terrorists

John Stevens, a doctoral candidate in roadside attractions, travels to Junction, anxious to authenticate the stool as a true piece of art. Unbeknownst to John, there has been an act of vandalism against the statue of the town's founder, and Curtis Gorfurter, Junction's police chief, has concluded it must be the work of a terrorist. John drops off pictures of the stool in town for development and, wishing to have them enlarged, leaves a note, "BLOW UP." To Chief Gorfurter this can only mean that the terrorist's target is the stool.
