...father was deported to Surinam for violating immigration laws. The child spent the rest of his short life looking for a father surrogate. His search was limited to the area around Harlem's West 116th Street, where-like many children who grow up there-he learned about hustling, dope and sex before he was ten. Often he subsisted on potato chips, baloney and sodas...

Reluctantly, Lahr has her committed, almost simultaneously scores a smash hit in his first...
