First sentence: On the afternoon of 28 June 1961, the former New Masses editor Joseph Freeman (1897-1965) lugubriously trudged over to the old red-brick Baptist-Congregationalist church on Washington Square South in New York City to attend the memorial service for the writer Kenneth Fearing (1902-1961), dead of lung cancer at age fifty-nine.
