...nether border of the Negro's world is Central Park. From just one block north, the fresh breezes and greenery seem a planet distant. Here is 111th Street, between Fifth and Madison Avenues, infested with prostitutes and dope addicts. Up a ways, at 118th and Lenox Avenue, is "junkie's corner," and at the New York Central overpass at 125th Street, over which suburban commuters ride every day between air-conditioned offices and well-kept homes, Negro prostitutes wait for white johns who know the spot and drive by in their cars...

Today, she mothers 40-odd pedigreed German shepherds, retrievers, bloodhounds, beagles and a poodle, and kennel costs-nothing but prime cuts will do-ran to $50,000 in 1963.
