Katzman's unusual and unexpectedly inspiring true-life experiences include creating numerous hard-scrabble businesses; a chain of newsstands, a kosher delicatessen, a periodical distribution company and a vintage collectible magazine store. Trying to survive and holding on to his dreams while navigating the corruption of Mayor Daley's era in Chicago's Hyde Park -- started from when he was a 14-year-old runaway from a terrifying, extremely violent and abusive home in South Side Chicago. His home-made wooden newsstand grew into a nationally-known business, contributing to a national awareness of Hyde Park, usually known for the University of Chicago and the Museum of Science and Industry.
