...Raymond, an un-apologetic drunk, as I sat drawing the vacant S. Klein department store on Broad Street, Newark's main avenue. Nursing a brown-bagged beer at 10:30 on a Friday morning, Raymond sat down next to me and remembered aloud how S. Klein's once anchored the vibrant string of stores along Broad in the fifties and sixties. Thinking back to those days, he praised the treatment of the "little guy" under Mayor Hugh Addonizio, the politician whose bungling and corruption led to the catastrophic 1967 riots...

On the outstanding "This House is Empty Now," a moving portrait of a man who cannot make sense of the unreliable memories that inscribe his vacant home, Bacharach and Costello write: "Do you recognize the face fixed in that fine silver frame?/Were you really so unhappy then?

(their real names have not been released because they are minors) would get the rap for the murder of 11-year-old Ryan Harris, whose body had been discovered in the high weeds of a vacant lot, her head smashed with a rock, her mouth stuffed with her panties. There were signs of sexual assault. Police officers had brought R. and E. in for questioning as witnesses, and when the two boys were called back, their stories changed. Under interrogation, they told on each other...
