Cerfisms by Bennett Cert
Jimmy Shea reports a motorist fined for double parking on upper Broadway. The officer asked if the driver saw the sign “Fine for double-parking,” and the motorist replied that he did and thought it a pretty good place. A railroad claim agent teaching his wife to drive faced brakes failure on a steep hill. She cried “I cant stop!” and he told her to brace and try to hit something cheap. A Kentucky doctor testing a draft boy’s mental capacity asked the difference between a little boy and a dwarf. The boy replied differences might be a heap, and the doctor agreed, noting the dwarf might be a girl.

A first person multiple narrator critique of a 1950s inspired novel about Sue and her entanglements with Bobbie Phil and George in a West 38th Street rooming house. The piece notes modern dating norms and a progressive tone, with Willingham possibly involved and a late developing tenderness.
