Alan: In recent months, friend Byron has made several trips to L.A. and reports his ongoing astonishment at the hordes of homeless people shuffling around the streets of Hollywood where his hotel is located.

As a young man, I remember reading a reference to America as a place of "private opulence and public squalor" and anyone who thinks plutocrat Trump is not driving that wedge deeper is manifestly deranged.
