Along with his 20-odd other ventures, Golfer Arnold Palmer, 34, is going into the laundry business in New York.

For nearly all, the chances of ever rising out of the slums are slim. The man finds odd jobs; the mother sells pumpkin seeds and peanuts on street corners, while the children hawk papers, lottery tickets, or rummage in garbage cans for scraps...
