...Armed with a double-barrel shotgun, they gagged and handcuffed the only guard on duty. A crowbar was used to break the locks off the metal door to the basement "money room." There, some $30 million in cash and food stamps sat in bags behind a floor-to-ceiling chain-link fence. The robbers clipped through the fence, took ten to twelve bags packed with untraceable $100 and $50 bills, plus close to $100,000 in traceable food stamps, and fled to their waiting van. Left behind was a message scrawled on a dusty wall mirror: ROBBERS WAS HERE...
...country people brought their ties with them: families, churches, music (bowling and unions came later) and rooted them in a home. Detroit has a high concentration of owners of single-family homes. Take Hazel Park: block after block of the American dream turned into one-story frame houses with chain-link fences, white ruffled curtains and wrought-iron posts holding up aluminum porches.

In the background, a chain-link fence rises as though to shield the playground and the worshippers from the graffiti scrawled on the buildings across the street. As the preacher hums and sways, a police car cruises slowly through the camera's field of view, like a large blue and white fish swimming in a bowl. Most of the crowd is submerged in the music...
...living rooms. The food that the minister has located probably will not feed all the hungry listening in the park. But its presence shows that he feels that the church must provide for the community. Though strangers perhaps to each other, the people are together, behind the chain-link fence...
