Description: "Paul Larosa was a clueless kid growing up in a Bronx housing project when he was thrust into the city room of The New York Daily News as a copy boy. It was at the end of the vaunted Front Page era when reporters reveled in bad behavior; booze and anything they could get away with. A naif trapped in a tabloid world, Pual found himself--deliriously--in the center of it all."--Publisher.
