That last remark concerning redundancies turns Amy’s beer sour. What it brings to mind is Richmond Research Associates located over on Staten Island. Richmond is another KFK subsidiary, much larger than Hurley-Cooper and far less a pure research facility than a commercial lab. It has a largely Asian staff and a CEO straight from Japan. What little true research the corp does almost always leads to highly lucrative patents. Richmond’s bottom line usually makes Hurley-Cooper look a weak sister.
