The Hard Work Behind "Other People's Money"

After attending City College of New York, Mr. Sterner sold tokens for the New York City Transit Authority. (They cost 15 cents each at the time.) He worked from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. and wrote seven plays in nearly six years in the booth. When he could not sell his work, he went into real estate.
