Neither more nor less

This man was listening to his radio in Tompkins Square Park last week . He was listening to music , something not current or popular . Another man seated near him in the park requested that the radio be tuned to another station broadcasting a particular and popular prize-fight on this evening . The owner of the radio said no emphatically : the other man struck him swiftly and furiously to the side of his face with a cane, smashed the radio and walked away .
