Err, I'll admit St. Louis is not the place a modern reader expects to
see in that sentence. I'd written Chicago in at first, until I found
I'd given St. Louis the privilege in Mr. Smith's first appearance. I
guess my point was, *every* city has its neighborhoods which are so bad
that surviving them is like being a commando in a jungle, and I've seen
one or two of St. Louis's. Besides, Chicago is cliche, even if it
didn't have such a bad reputation before 1968.
