George can't get a new apartment because the tenant association (chaired by Mrs. Riccardi) is giving it to an Andrea Doria survivor, Clarence Eldrige.
George is sympathetic at first, but after Kramer (who owns a book on real-life sea voyages and other on astounding bear attacks) informs him of the details of the Andrea Doria (the ship took 10 hours to sink, and only 51 people died), he feels Clarence's case is weak.
At Jerry's suggestion, George requests a hearing with the association and tells them various misfortunes of his life, leaving the committee, and specially Mrs. Riccardi, in tears.
