...River from the seventh floor of a trim building occupied mainly by Hispanics and blacks. But Berkowitz's apartment was a mess, furnished with little more than a low mattress. The windows were covered by sheets to keep neighbors from seeing in. Pornographic magazines were strewn near the bed. One large hole had been knocked in a wall, with an arrow pointing to it and a puzzling hand-printed message: "Hi. My name is Mr. Williams, and I live in this hole."

The Florida contingent was led by an aspiring-and perspiring -Ulysses, clad in bright gold-fabric armor. Would-be Legionnaires-all male -captained chariots crafted from barrels and aluminum sheeting, drawn by teams of giggling girls. Chauvinistic? Perhaps, but the girls didn't mind.
