One World in an Apartment House by Hal Boyle
Hal Boyle describes a utopia of apartment life on the lower east side where many residents work for the United Nations. The 11 story building hosts a multilingual, multicultural mix with automatic elevators and evolving social rituals. Humorous vignettes cover neighbors from China and Russia, language barriers, and quirky daily exchanges in a close living tower. A separate note reports unemployment claims rising to 327 for the Kansas State Employment Service amid snow and cold.
