- If you've been in the city recently you can't help but notice vendors
- selling Streetwise, a newspaper published to help the homeless. I seem
- to recall reading an article on Streetwise saying that out of the dollar
- purchase price 25 cents goes to the publisher and 75 cents goes to the
- vendor, a homeless person. That's fine and dandy, but I continualy see
- "homeless" vendors with $200 gym shoes and leather coats - what gives?
