'Who do yer think's going to see yer? The man in the moon?'

Teenage Pinball Queen

Live Clean, Think Clean, Shoot Clean Pinball-

that's Arfur's motto.

But one thing could ride right over all his hopes: the deluxe rod driven by a first-class heel who hated Dave's guts.

Here are all the bright colors and roaring thrills of the gunning, racing motors, the zing of competition, the excitement of sport...the heart-stopping peril of a crash...the nip-and-tuck finish! Life and death ride on the race - and the heart and spirit Dave can bring to it!

WERE THEY HEROES...OR PUNKS?

The Fourth of July dawned hot and ominous. The city was steaming-ready to go off like a string of firecrackers. The big rumble was on.

It would take Papa Arnold's Family far from their Brooklyn turf. Before the night was over they would have to fight their way home. They would seek out-and find-the city's dangers, its violence, its mysteries. They would rape and kill. But above all, they would stick together.

They were brothers. The Family was the only family they had.
