First sentence: In The Waterworks, E. L. Doctorow's narrator describes the world of the "street rats," the destitute children of New York City in the late 1800s, before the advent of the Progressive era and 50 years prior to the New Deal and the signing of the Social Security Act, which guaranteed legal entitlement to public assistance for all poor children.
