Ragged Tom and a World That Didn't Notice
A Detroit Free Press style feature recalls a dead waif named Tom found in a public hallway. The piece contrasts his solitary struggle against poverty with a world indifferent to his fate, lamenting lack of collective mourning or recognition. An accompanying Louisville Ledger interview with a farmer satirizes flood damage and rural dialects.
