Simon originally intended to go to law school, but at the end of his sophomore year he married the former Carol Girard, a Marymount College coed and daughter of a New Jersey businessman. By the time of his graduation in 1951 they had one child, and he had to make money immediately. Through a classmate he got a job on Wall Street, and he went into municipal-bond trading.

A year before the play begins, Alan had left Julian. Now he has been impelled...

Some of the more affluent, like Businessman José Martinez, can afford to lose repeatedly when they "wheel a Quiniela" for $6-track talk for placing a bet on three combinations of three competitors picked to win, place and show. "You never know," says Martinez. "You can have the best dog in the race and sometimes...
