We got eviction notices last month.
They're renovating the building.

1:11:07
They decided the time had come for me
to get a real apartment with real furniture.

1:11:12
So shaking all over, I went
to the construction site of a building...

1:11:16
...going up on 2nd Avenue
and signed a lease...

1:11:20
...on a two and a half
bed-sitter apartment...

1:11:24
...that isn't even there yet.
1:11:35
Dear Helene: Prepare yourself for a shock.
1:11:40
All three books that you last requested
in your last letter...

1:11:43
...are on their way to you
and should arrive in a week.

1:11:46
Don't ask how we managed it,
it's just part of the Marks' service.

1:11:52
Times Square is jammed
with jubilant New Yorkers...

1:11:55
...and visitors celebrating the New Year.
1:11:59
The bright lights of Broadway shining on
nearly a million festive folks.

1:12:04
The sign of the times.
1:12:06
Happy New Year!
1:12:11
Sunday night and a hell of a way
to start 1960.

1:12:15
I don't know.
1:12:17
Somebody gave me this book
for Christmas.

1:12:20
A Great Modern Library book.
Ever seen one of those?

1:12:24
It's less attractively bound...
1:12:26
...than the Proceedings
of the New York State Assembly...

1:12:28
...and weighs more.
1:12:30
It was a given to me by a gent
who knows I'm fond of John Donne.

1:12:35
The title of this book is:
1:12:37
The Complete Poetry and Selected Prose
of John Donne...

1:12:43
...and the Complete Poetry
of William Blake?

1:12:50
The question mark is mine.
Please tell me what those two boys...

1:12:54
...have in common except
they were both English...

1:12:58
...and they both wrote.
