Mr. Dudai is the overseer of the Miskolci Velkrogyar, the largest velcro farm in the world. After harvesting, the adhesive vegetable is dried and processed in the nearby state-run factory, then exported to the four corners of the earth for use as the bristly multipurpose closure material so popular on ski jackets, shoes, slipcovers and wallets. We love our velcro. It gives us life.'' That Mr. Dudai and his people love velcro is no understatement. Velkro, in fact, is the Hungarian word for love.
Lovers come together in silent union, stick, then separate noisily.
