The youth of Lincoln Park were now involved in car thefts, purse-snatchings, burglaries, armed robberies, drugs, stabbings, shootings and disorderly conduct. Jiménez and a few Young Lords turned to hard drugs like heroin and cocaine. In the summer of 1968, Jimenez was picked up for possession of heroin and was given a 60-day sentence at Cook County Jail, then called the Bridewell or House of Correction. It was in this jail experience that Jiménez decided to turn himself around and to devote his life to the cause of human rights. The Catholic Thomas Merton’s book that he read in the "hole" of Bradwell jail had a strong impact on Jiménez, who had once contemplated becoming a priest.

Methodic Discord Startles ..., a double spread in Russian Ballet, 1919 Russian Ballet is a small softback book featuring 6 coloured lithographs, each one facing a line from a poem celebrating the experience of watching the Ballet Russe. The prints are almost entirely abstract, and evoke the disorientating mood without recourse to specific detail. The entire poem, also written by Bomberg, reads: > —Methodic discord startles > —Insistent snatchings drag fancy from space > —Fluttering white hands beat—compel. Reason concedes > —Impressions crowding collide with movement round us > ——the curtain falls—the created illusion escapes > —The mind clamped fast captures only a fragment, for new illusionRussian > Ballet at the Internet Archive Bomberg, who had trained as a lithographer, printed the images; his wife sewed the binding.

View on the boardwalk, looking west at Luna Park Further work was undertaken on the boardwalk in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. This included the replacement of the original street lights with replicas in the 1960s, as well as the replacement of benches, drinking fountains, pavilions, and comfort stations. Concrete and brick lifeguard towers were erected in the 1970s. By the 1960s, Coney Island was in decline due to increased crime, insufficient parking facilities, bad weather, and the post-World War II automotive boom. This culminated in the last of the three big amusement parks, Steeplechase Park, being sold off in 1965. A newspaper article noted in 1961 that between 5,000 and 10,000 people slept on the beach every night, and that the boardwalk was a common place for purse snatchings and muggings.
