A .of!~ '!f3:!!,.s1;.~!!erf DayWn News Release TO SPEAK ON "CRIME IN AMERICA" DAYTON, Ohio, February 11, 1988--Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels, will speak on crime in America and how people should get more involved in crime prevention. The lecture, which is free and open to the public, is in the University of Dayton's Kennerly Union Ballroom on Thursday, Feb. 25 at 8 p.m. and is sponsored by UD's Student Government Association. The Guardian Angels is a crime-fighting organization made up primarily of young people who patrol subways and streets in high-crime areas in more than 60 cities across the country, including Miami, Boston, Los Angeles and New York City, where the group was founded in 1979. They do not carry weapons. Sliwa, a Brooklyn native, had a history of public service before founding the Guardian Angels. While managing a McDonald's restaurant in the South Bronx in 1979, he organized the teenagers who frequented the restaurant to clean up the neighborhood. -
Gerald R. Ford Oral History Project Peter Mcpherson Interviewed by Richard Norton Smith July 22, 2010
Gerald R. Ford Oral History Project Peter McPherson Interviewed by Richard Norton Smith July 22, 2010 McPherson: I knew Ford growing up. He and my father were friends and I saw him from time to time. I saw President Ford many times when I was working for him as Deputy Director of the Presidential Personnel. At those meetings I developed some understanding of President Ford’s decision making. Smith: Excellent. McPherson: I also saw President Ford when I was Jim Baker’s deputy in the President’s fight for the nomination in 1976. Baker was responsible for “delegate hunting” for Ford at the convention. Smith: That’s gold. I mean, all of this is gold. Let’s talk about West Michigan, because it is a distinctive place. One senses it has changed considerably over the years. The influence of the Dutch, and the Christian Reformed Church were clearly significant. Sometimes, there’s a semi-comical element - the stories about people buying a Sunday paper on Saturday and not reading it until Monday. I’m trying to get a sense of what made West Michigan stand out. Was it not the place that most influenced Gerald Ford; and why were they such a good match during those years where he was in the Congress? McPherson: The Dutch were a cultural influence since they arrived in large numbers around the turn of the century. My grandmother came from Holland about 1900 when her father came to Grand Rapids to work in the furniture factories. She married a local farmer, my grandfather, and so I was always very aware of the Dutch community, though my grandmother became a Methodist when she married. -

After the Urban Crisis: New York and the Rise of Inequality
After the Urban Crisis: New York and the Rise of Inequality Edited by Themis Chronopoulos and Jonathan Soffer Forthcoming as a special issue of the Journal of Urban History Table of Contents and Abstracts Introduction. After the Urban Crisis: New York and the Rise of Inequality by Themis Chronopoulos and Jonathan Soffer “I am Not Co-Op!” The Struggle over Middle-Class Housing in 1970s New York by Benjamin Holtzman In 1970s New York, some landlords and major real estate associations argued that New York could stem the exodus of middle-income residents by creating greater opportunities for homeownership in a city that had long been dominated overwhelmingly by renters. They proposed converting middle-income rental housing into cooperatives, a process that would also enable former landlords to profit handsomely. Tenants, however, widely rejected apartment ownership, preferring the security of rent-regulated housing. This article traces the ensuing struggles between tenants, the real estate industry, and city officials over the nature of moderate and middle-income housing in New York. The eventual success of the real estate industry enabled cooperative conversions to expand dramatically in the 1980s, but only by bargaining with tenants and activists, offering tenants non-eviction plans, and heavily discounted insider prices. This process helped to transform the city by underwriting a momentous turnaround in the real estate market, while signaling a larger embrace of market deregulation. “A Shelter Can Tip the Scales Sometimes”: Disinvestment, Gentrification, and the Neighborhood Politics of Homelessness in 1980s New York City by Ariel Eisenberg In the 1980s, visible homelessness became one of the most pressing problems in New York City. -
E Media, the Jury, and the High-Profile Defendant: a Defense
VOLUME 55 | 2010/11 JOHN C. MERINGOLO !e Media, the Jury, and the High-Pro"le Defendant: A Defense Perspective on the Media Circus ABOUT THE AUTHOR: John Meringolo received his J.D. from New York Law School in 1999 and is currently a criminal defense attorney in New York City. Early in his career, Mr. Meringolo gained experience while working under the esteemed James LaRossa, beginning with the trial of United States v. DeMartino, No. 03 CR 285 (RJD) (E.D.N.Y. May 7, 2004). Such experience provided Mr. Meringolo instant exposure to high-profile criminal defense. Over the last seven years of Mr. Meringolo’s private practice, he has tried numerous high-profile cases, including: United States v. DePalma, No. 05 CR 225 (AKH) (S.D.N.Y. June 6, 2006), United States v. Boyle, No. 03 CR 970 (SJ) (E.D.N.Y. Mar. 21, 2005), Indictment, People v. Lucente, No. 490-09 (E.D.N.Y. Mar. 18, 2010), and, as discussed later in this article, United States v. Gotti, No. 08 CR 1220 (PKC) (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 1, 2009). Aside from practicing law, Mr. Meringolo also teaches Trial Advocacy as an Adjunct Professor at New York Law School. 981 THE MEDIA, THE JURY, AND THE HIGH-PROFILE DEFENDANT I. INTRODUCTION Throughout American history, there has been tension between the Sixth Amendment right of a criminal defendant to receive a fair trial and the First Amendment right for freedom of the press to publish news about criminal trials. Over the last seventy-five years in particular, media coverage of trials has steadily increased as a result of rapid advancements in technology. -
Fight for the Right: the Quest for Republican Identity in the Postwar Period
FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT: THE QUEST FOR REPUBLICAN IDENTITY IN THE POSTWAR PERIOD By MICHAEL D. BOWEN A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2006 Copyright 2006 by Michael D. Bowen ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project is the culmination of many years of hard work and dedication, but it would not have been possible without assistance and support from a number of individuals along the way. First and foremost, I have to thank God and my parents for all that they have done for me since before I arrived at the University of Florida. Dr. Brian Ward, whose admiration for West Ham United is only surpassed by his love for the band Gov’t Mule, was everything I could have asked for in an advisor. Dr. Charles Montgomery pushed and prodded me to turn this project from a narrow study of the GOP to a work that advances our understanding of postwar America. Dr. Robert Zieger was a judicious editor whose suggestions greatly improved my writing at every step of the way. Drs. George Esenwein and Daniel Smith gave very helpful criticism in the later stages of the project and helped make the dissertation more accessible. I would also like to thank my fellow graduate students in the Department of History, especially the rest of “Brian Ward’s Claret and Blue Army,” for helping make the basement of Keene-Flint into a collegial place and improving my scholarship through debate and discussion. -
