You pick it up someplace in a play- ground on the East Side, follow it up through backyards and playgrounds to Central Park and see it glitter in a little boy ' s face as he plays in the grass, watch it as lovers stroll hand in hand. It ' s peace. New York is peace — a gentle, blissful, homey peace that is obvious whenever the city ' s people are able to relax, to enjoy themselves. By day it ' s a model sailboat, or a rowboat ride, or a horseback ride in the park. By night it ' s a date for a very special boy with a very special girl. In the peace that is New York two little boys build sandpiles in the park while an elderly couple sits nearby sharing a newspaper, a student studies for an exam, a baseball game is played, an oar dips into the water as a young man rows his favorite across a pond, and a calliope plays as a merry-go- round turns.
