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.

  • 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.

  • Curtis Sliwa
    CURTIS SLIWA Curtis Sliwa was born in Canarsie, Brooklyn. He attended Brooklyn Prep, a Jesuit high school and graduated from Canarsie High School, a New York City public high school. Prior to founding the Guardian Angels, he was night manager of a McDonald's restaurant on Fordham Road in the Bronx. Guardian Angels In May 1977, Sliwa created the "Magnificent 13", a group dedicated to combating violence and crime on the New York City Subway. At the time, the city was experiencing a crime wave. The Magnificent 13 grew and was renamed the Guardian Angels in 1979. The group's actions drew strong reactions, both positive and negative, from the police, public officials, residents, and the media. Throughout the early 1980s, the group's distinctive uniform, a military type red beret and white insignia T-shirt, became recognizable as the group grew and courted media attention. In 1992, Sliwa received the prestigious Courage of Conscience Award from the Peace Abbey, at the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston. Sliwa, who continues to act as the president of the organization and oversees its worldwide operations, frequently visits chapters throughout the world. As of 2011, the Guardian Angels operate in nine countries and 82 cities with approximately 5,000 members. Radio Sliwa has become a populist conservative radio talk show host. In 2000 he became the co-host, with attorney Ron Kuby, of the long-running Curtis and Kuby in the Morning. The show lasted eight years before Citadel Broadcasting replaced the team with Don Imus. The Curtis Sliwa LIVE program began national syndication on Dec.

Whether you are reading this at our Clubhouse, on our website, or at an event, we dearly appreciate your continued support of the New York Young Republican Club and this incredible community of conservative minds you helped us build. Secondly, as the newest member of the Executive Committee, I want to thank our former Treasurer and the rest of the Committee for bringing me onboard to this integral role. I stepped in at a time when our financial health was improving extraordinarily. Our membership has grown from 500 members to almost 800 members since I took office, providing recurring cash flow that enables us to support a variety of efforts, including events at our Clubhouse in Manhattan. Our generous donors allowed us to turn this space into a safe haven for Conservatives, outfitted with entertainment, furniture, historic decorum and other amenities. As I look to the next year, knowing our continued financial stability will be essential to expanding our presence in New York and supporting our members in the fight against the Left, I promise to do my best to safeguard our financial health. The first NYYRC event I attended fell on Joe Biden’s sad Inauguration Day, and I remember thinking as I left, “How will Republicans ever recover from the loss of our North Star, President Donald J.
