When Attribution is not a Challenge
Shari met Johnny a long time ago. They knew each other through mutual friends. It was a casual and brief acquaintance, seeing each other at parties and infrequently running into each other on the streets of SoHo and Chelsea in 1990’s New York City.
He wasn’t seeing anyone steady and Shari was in a dead end long distance romance with an artist living in London. They never “clicked.”

The Charm Offensive
Back in 1983, the New York City Civilian Complaint Review Board better known as CCRB, monitored complaints against NYPD cops. At an obviously perspicuous moment their insightful minds discovered a basic algorithm. This would ultimately determine the veracity of a complaint of verbal abuse lodged against the members of the NYPD by an aggrieved and abused member of the public.
“All cops call people assholes, so if a complainant says he was called an asshole, it must be true.”
When Sean and I heard this piece of cogent logic we decided to counter it with an affirmative response from a working police officers’ point of view. I christened our project: “The Charm Offensive.”

Chivalry Was Not Dead
It was a busy Manhattan summer back in 1983, a Saturday night in the NYPD’s 13th Precinct. The dense humidity soaked into the station house even though the air conditioning was running full blast: (that’s full blast for an under maintained New York City municipal building). The craziness from the streets invaded the station house as well. It seemed like every strange person within the confines of the command compiled with some exotic call. Somewhat like the zombies from The Night of the Living Dead movie. Then again, it was kind of a fun night.

Snap Shot: Donut Empathy
The two NYPD cops were working a midnight tour back in 1984.
“What’s the problem now?” Frankie The Cop asks Stillos, the obnoxious owner of Athens DonutDelites. The shop was located on the southeast corner of West 23rd Street and 7th Avenue in Manhattan’s 13th Pct.
He then indigently points over to a middle aged man in a lightweight olive green summer seersucker suit.
