98, [2], pages. 67 Gravure plates. "In the spring of 1959 I met a group of teenagers in Brooklyn who called themsleves 'The Jokers.' I found myself involved with a group of unpredictable youths who were mostly indifferent to me. In time they allowed me to witness their fear, depression, and anger." - page 81.
