...York is not the one seen by the visitor, not Broadway or Park Avenue, not Greenwich Village or Harlem. Procaccino lives in a suburban setting so far north in The Bronx that the city boundary runs through his backyard. Marchi has a comfortable house in another outlying region, Staten Island. Lindsay is the Manhattan man. The differences are major. A man in the outer boroughs may work in Manhattan, but he is no more a Manhattanite by temperament than is a citizen of Omaha. Manhattan is heavily populated by the East Side affluents, by poor blacks and Puerto Ricans...
Wallace H. Terry II is hardly a stranger to racial tensions. As a TIME correspondent since 1963, he has covered the riots, marches and other news in Los Angeles, Detroit, Birmingham, Jackson, Miss., and Danville, Va. Five years ago in Harlem, where he was born in 1938, a brick slammed into Terry's chest and left him gasping on the pavement. In 1963, he was with Medgar Evers the night before Evers was killed at his home in Jackson. For the past 22 months, Terry has been in our Saigon bureau, reporting the war in Viet...
...Skinner, 27, once had 22 notches on his knife handle for all of the "cuts" he had inflicted on enemies by the time he was a 14-year-old gang leader of the Harlem Lords.

Skinner thinks evangelical churches must lead the fight for social justice because it "takes regeneration from Jesus Christ to change society...
...Carlton Hotel. In Paris, Ho worked as a gardener and photo retoucher. In 1917, so one account goes, he worked his way across the Atlantic as a merchant seaman, visiting New York, Boston and perhaps San Francisco. One source says that Ho worked briefly as a waiter in a Harlem restaurant. Back in Paris, he resumed contacts with other nationalist-minded Asians, and found himself increasingly attracted by the rosy ideals of international Socialism. In 1919, Ho rented a striped suit and derby and sought out Woodrow Wilson at the Versailles Peace Conference. Ho hoped to interest the peacemakers...
Most Americans think they know what is meant by "the urban crisis." To many, it means Watts in Los Angeles, the Hough section of Cleveland, Harlem in New York-in short, race riots, poverty, slums. To others, the urban crisis is manifest daily in clogged freeways, rising land costs and inadequate parks, plus a persistent dissatisfaction with urban life. But how many Americans think of the appalling squalor of the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, the bidonvilles of Algiers, the vecindades of Mexico City, or the nocturnal streets, littered with sleeping bodies, of Calcutta? There, the urban crisis is compounded...
