In the first full year of my parents' marriage (which they finished by breaking their general Democratic habit and voting for Ike for president) , here is a HARPERS' magazine article from 1956 profiling an " upscale " , homeless man in the New York City of that time , by one Edmund G. Love .
This article (which I read in an anthology of " classic humorous pieces " in the 70s and which has always stayed with me - Did I suspect ?) eventually gave birth to a full-length book - Which I have never read !!!!!!! It was OOP expensive on Amazon the last time I looked . - and even a modestly successful early-60s Broadway musical ! (By Jule Styne , Betty Comden , and Adolph Green , who had earlier done the far more successful " Bells Are Ringing " , which was filmed , as well .)
