On buying a newspaper the morning of the day after.

  SUMMARY

A small crowd, inside and warm, filling the narrow aisles of a small Brooklyn tobacconist, waiting for the New York Times truck to arrive. When I arrived, some people had been waiting for hours, the papers long gone (and none at the subway station). Black and white, old and not so old, waiting together to buy a Times, or two, or 25! “Like going to Washington DC, but closer,” someone said.

Happiness.
