Diamonds and cars and a century of change in tales
A garbled, period tone text traces the fate of the Koh-i-noor diamond from 1304 to 1850 and comments on broader shifts to more equal distribution of luxury goods. It also mentions Goodyear, motor cars, and the use of diamonds on tyres as safety gear, then shifts to a discussion of Pullman sleeping-car training for young Black pupils and ends with a drunken disorderly court remark, all in a rambling, inconsistent narration.
