...York is not the one seen by the visitor, not Broadway or Park Avenue, not Greenwich Village or Harlem. Procaccino lives in a suburban setting so far north in The Bronx that the city boundary runs through his backyard. Marchi has a comfortable house in another outlying region, Staten Island. Lindsay is the Manhattan man. The differences are major. A man in the outer boroughs may work in Manhattan, but he is no more a Manhattanite by temperament than is a citizen of Omaha. Manhattan is heavily populated by the East Side affluents, by poor blacks and Puerto Ricans...
...drunken brawl. Ginger, shaken up just a bit at first, finally recovers and marries Jill, who by now is great with Dwyer's child. All of this is supposed to be comic, but it comes out grubby melodrama. There is, as partial compensation, some excellent location photography of suburban London by Cameraman Larry Pizer, but that's just so much frosting on a half-baked slice of lowlife...
Parents often are nonplussed. "My mother asked me to tell her if I smoked marijuana," says one high school girl in suburban Smithtown, N.Y. "When I said yes, all she said was 'I knew it. I knew it.'

He obviously knows some of the perils inherent in drugs, but is alarmingly heedless of others, notably LSD, which can be extremely dangerous. He graduated last June...
...Pittsburgh, where 3,000 demonstrators paraded through downtown streets to demand more construction jobs for Negroes. "Freedom! Freedom!" chanted the marchers, as they raised clenched fists, waved black flags and circled building projects manned by unions whose memberships are almost exclusively white. More than 1,000 white demonstrators-clergymen, suburban housewives, students and even a few businessmen-marched along with ghetto militants...
