- "We knew we had to move but we wanted to show other people what Mrs. Ballard — a slumlady — was like and what we were doing to file for decent living conditions. With our picket and TV and Radio coverage we told our story to many."
- "An interesting game of this type is known as the Slumlord’s Dilemma. Imagine that two slum owners, Slumlady Sally and Slumlord Larry, have adjacent tenements. Each owner knows the following: if both invest in improving their tenements, they will have the nicest low-rent apartments in the city and will earn high returns on their investments (say an extra profit of $5000 each). On the other hand, if, say, Slumlord Larry invests but Slumlady Sally does not, then Larry will lose his shirt but Sally will make out like a bandit."
