...final picture from this section takes on another light in the wake of Sept. 11. An untitled photograph from Aaron Siskind’s 1936 series “Harlem Document” shows an African-American man in a cook’s apron. He leans out a window shaded by a vertically-striped awning. His right hand holds a pie, hawking it to passers-by; while his left rests on the sill.

A Seinfeld standup show, a Grandmaster Flash resurrection, a Bobby Knight book signing, a John Wooden breakfast, alumni events, a sports bar. College all-stars dunked and arced, and in an historic footnote, handed the Harlem Globetrotters their first loss in 222 games.

The scene in the Blue Smoke's Jazz Standard Club...

Journalists are sometimes naive about their own safety, prone to an illusion that they are either bulletproof or invisible. In the mid-'60s, I walked blithely through the mobs during a riot in Harlem, with Molotov cocktails sailing off the roofs of apartment houses. I imagined that as a journalist, I was merely an invisible witness, as harmless as a recording secretary, as if I had letters of transit allowing me to pass between cops and rioters completely without consequence. The rioters left me alone...
