...prepared an extensive study advocating the division of New York City into five separate borough systems. Still others call for establishing educational parks, vast autonomous centers of education where whole districts would be educated under one roof.

His father, an ex-convict, used to beat his gin-sodden mother with his wooden leg; a sister was active in a sort of open-air bordello, and Tony himself was sold to a cattle...
