WAR IN THE STREETS

The night of July 4th. In the Bronx, a city-wide convention of gang leaders moves to organize New York's teen-age gangs into an army of 100,000 strong. But mistrust leads to insult and insult into open warfare, and soon the police move in. Suddenly, six members of "the Family" - the Coney Island Dominators - are alone on enemy terrain, hunted down and terrified for their lives. Their desperate flight back to the safety of Brooklyn becomes a journey filled with violence, a modern Odyssey gone terribly wrong, an adventure into every imaginable crime against mind and body...

the Man with the Golden Arm

Carl Sandburg says of Nelson Algren

"Great qualities of insight into people, a heart of pity, a gift of cadence and song, and often when you near heartbreak he throws in comic relief. The interwoven police, politicians, gamblers and thieves, fixers and hustlers, the jargons of the night-clubs and prisons, these are here in The Man with the Golden Arm. Algren makes his living grotesques so terribly human that their faces, voices, shames, follies and deaths, can linger in your mind with a strange midnight dignity. I join with Ernest Hemingway in hoping that Algren lives on, holds to his standards, and writes a long shelf of books."

COVER PHOTO BY CHRISTOPHER BARKER

When in June 1957 a fifteen-year-old polio victim was beaten to death by the Egyptian Kings gang in a New York park, a new kind of 'killing for kicks' violence had burst upon the American scene. The author of this book entered the world of two New York gangs, the Dragons and the Balkans, to discover the youths' real motives, hidden from the police, from other social workers, and even from themselves. His investigations reveal that the violent-gang member is a displaced person, unable for various social and psychological reasons to associate with others, within a gang or outside it. The gang itself emerges as a loose grouping, more a vehicle for its members' fantasies and desires for status than a well-oiled criminal machine. Traditional methods of gang control, which have accepted the power of the gang on its members' own valuation and attempted to divert it to more worthwhile ends, may be merely aggravating the problem. Professor Yablonsky himself suggests some totally new methods of control, based upon the revolutionary Synanon experiments in group control.

SHE'D SHOW THEM!

When Maybelle Reardon came to Kenyon High that morning the boys looked at her queerly and the other girls ignored her completely. She knew that Dennis Morrisey had told.

But what had happened in her room yesterday had been Dennis' fault. How could they blame her? All right, she decided angrily. The next time it would be her own fault. She'd give this town something to really talk about!

"The author avoids bawdiness in a story that is essentially sexy and comes up with a tale that moves his readers to compassion for his fictional heroine."

-Dallas TIMES-HERALD

The frank, realistic story of a teen-age gutter-scrapper, who learned all he knew about life in the sordid streets and tenements of New York's Lower East Side.

It is also the story of three girls - a downtown floozie, an uptown fancy girl, and one decent woman - for whom he slugged his way out of the slums and broke the deadly hold of the Syndicate that owned him, body and soul.
