Summary: Edward Lee Truman Kennedy eats a slice of pizza given to him by Andrea Carla Michaels, who hands out food donated by Nob Hill Pizza and Shawerma.

Striding up the street was his salvation for the next 10 minutes, complete with a crossword puzzle, new socks and something to eat. It was the Pizza Lady.
