Before undertaking their fowl-raising project, the Fastmans and Brasher had researched Cambridge ordinances, and they noted the absence of “chicken coop” on the list of permitted uses—along with items like doghouses and bird feeders that can be easily found in many backyards, Fastman said. Finding no documented regulations against having chickens and ducks as pets in a backyard when they researched the city ordinances, the trio proceeded to build the coop and keep the birds by what they understood to be legal means...

Ralph earned $62 a week driving a bus; Norton worked, as he liked to say, as an engineer of subterranean sanitation-in the sewer system ... Ralph was even louder, brasher and more abrasive [then] ... Alice was also louder and more argumentative, and Norton was dopier, unlikely as that may sound. Why does The Honeymooners remain so appealing? 'I have two answers, and they're very simple,' says Gleason ... 'First, they're funny. And second, the audience likes the people...
