The city was my home. As I look back at the work I did during that period I realize that I was witness to a time that no longer exists, a more innocent time.

[.....] Of course the "good old days" were not all sweetness and light. There was poverty, racism, corruption, and violence in those days, too, but somehow we believed in the possible. We believed in hope. Arthur Leipzig, Introduction à son ouvrage Growing up in New York (1995).
