...neighborhood for entertainment. We are also the people who destroyed the neighborhoods by getting into our trucks, buses and cars and moving. With this new non-neighborhood approach to life, might it not be better if our children are bused across town so that they will learn about adapting to a mobile society?

COLES APPRECIATES the complexity of the tenuous adjustments that America's poor have made to adapt to their circumstances, he can sense and has seen the trauma that accompanies any transformation in the order of things.
