Summary
This document appears to be page 28 of a memoir or manuscript draft (header date 4.2.12) stamped by the House Oversight Committee. The text, written in the first person (likely by Alan Dershowitz given the biographical details regarding Boro Park, law/teaching, and Martha's Vineyard), recounts the author's childhood in a 'funny neighborhood' surrounded by future comedians like Jackie Mason and Buddy Hackett. It details his experiences working in the Catskills (Borscht Belt) hotels and his current social life on Martha's Vineyard exchanging jokes with celebrities like Harold Ramis and Larry David.
