EARLY ONE BRISK FALL MORNING IN 1963, I LEFT MY APARTMENT ON UPPER FIFTH AVENUE IN NEW YORK CITY, TO OK THE BUS DOWNTOWN TO 57TH STREET AND WALKED WEST ACROSS TOWN UNTIL I REACHED A SHABBY, OLD STYLE NEW YORK TENEMENT, FRONTING ON AN ENTIRE BLOCK. I was on my way to a physical therapist highly recommended by my mother. Mom had been hounding me for at least six months to see him. She thought this man was a wizard with the human body and was certain that he could fix my chronic stiff neck. I was skeptical—just another of my mother’s many enthusiasms. My resistance finally cracked not so much to relieve the pressure on my neck as to end the pressure from my mother.
I entered the unlocked outer door of 939 Eighth Avenue and stepped into a cramped, smelly space serving as the lobby, mail room, laundry drop-off, umbrella shake-out room and entry hall for the occupants of the many small apartments. The inner-door latch was broken and provided as much security as a sign saying: “Thieves Not Admitted.”
