First sentence: EVIDENCE OF PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS CAN be found in almost any urban public place: a dozen teenagers hang out with each other on the sidewalk outside a market; a mother and daughter laugh playfully as they inspect decorations in a retail store; two women chat amiably with each other on a bench at a park as they watch their husbands play softball in a city league; young men and women greet each other with salutations and hugs at a local bar.
