In the summer of 1959, something did go wrong with the power plant that provides New

York with electricity .For a great many hours ,life came almost to a standstill. Trains refused to move and

the people in them sat in the dark, powerless to do anything ; lifts stopped working ,so that even if you

were lucky enough not to be trapped between two floors, you had the unpleasant task of finding your way

down hundreds of flights of stairs .Famous streets like Broadway and fifth avenue in an instant became as

gloomy and uninviting as the remote black streets .People were afraid to leave their houses ,for although the

police had been ordered to stand by in case of emergency ,they were afraid to leave their houses ,for

although the police had been ordered to stand by in case of emergency ,they were just as confused and

helpless as anybody else.

Meanwhile ,similar disorder prevailed in the hoe .New York can be stifling in the summer and this year

was no exception .Cool-air conditioned apartments became furnaces .Food went bad in refrigerators .cakes

and joints of meat remained uncooked in ovens ,and people sat impatient and frightened in the dark as of an

unseen enemy had landed from Mars . The only people who were not troubled by the darkness were the

blind .One of the strangest things that occurred during the power cut was that some fifty blind people were

led by many sighted workers home. When the lights came on again ,hardly a person in the city can have

turned on a switch without reflecting how great a servant he had at his finger –tips
