Born December 18, 1927, in New York's east Bronx. Sachs grew up in the "railroad" apartment on Jennings Street. "Jennings Street had no trees, birds, or flowers. But it had kids. Every day after school and all day on the weekends, holidays, and during the summer vacation, the kids poured out of the apartment houses and filled the sidewalks, the playground, and the street itself. Hardly any cars ever came through so that the street served as a field for stickball or a rink for roller skaters."1
"I started kindergarten when I was four." My mother said I was five. Either she thought I was amazingly mature for my age or she wanted to get rid of me. I prefer the former reason.
"All was well in the beginning.... But one terrible day, when I raised my hand and asked my teacher if I could go to the girls' room, she told me I would have to wait until somebody else needed to go as well.
