European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 27, 1977, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 18 the stars and stripes tuesday september 27, 1977 Jimmy. New York Early last Friday the Handoff the Devil himself came out of the Black Moody night and struck my nest my second living room the part one bar of Queens blvd. The place caught fire and a piece of allow us swirled away into the darkness. When Daylight came we got together the people who care Klein the lawyer Shelly Chevlowe and waitress Ruthie Sunshine and we stood midst the charcoal and drank. The windows were boarded up and Only Pale streaks of Light coming through the doorway helped give shape to the Glass in your hand. The smell of dead fire caused everybody to breathe through the Mouth. Belfast had come to Queens. Morning proceeded to afternoon and the somebody called in from the Street that it was 6 o clock and it was starting to rain. Ruthie Sunshine began to cry. For the first weekend in a decade she would not be working at Partone on a weekend night. This is a greater injustice than Dreyfus Klein the lawyer said. His summation sent me Home in a proper mood. When i woke up the next morning the first thing i did was reach out into the fuzzy air which is where words reside and grab the adjective fair and twist it in my hands an choke it to death. It would be of no use to me for the remainder of the Day. I then threw Down some Tomato juice and went out to cover the next to last Day of the new York City democratic primary race. Cover it in my own Way the same Way As i see every horse race i which i m interested. I see my horse. I Don t even recognize that there is another horse inthe race. And i place lasting curses upon any body who dares even mutter the name of an other horse in the race. Therefore i first went to Central Park West to the apartment of Paul o Dwyer who ran for re election As City Council president. Regard it As at least a Misdemeanour for any body to dare run in election against Paulo Dwyer. For so Many of us for so Long now he has been the one whose voice has remained Clear whose counsel never changed. Remember Paul o Dwyer always tells us remember the others. Remember the others for they Are what we were. And therefore they Are  come out of Queens with an Irish name and a parochial school background an nobody Ever said too much of that to us except Paul o Dwyer. Everybody else sought Little Pool of warmth. Up the Irish o Dwyer told us about Blacks and hispanics and no that Many liked to hear it and of course he did not Stop because this is something he simply does not know How to  now late of an election Campaign i read the papers and see them questioning what Paul o Dwyer has done for his City. Measure him by the past we Are told.  make certain while you place in All the specks and Small statements and tiny occur fences of the past that you also find a Way to measure a Man who touches the soul of other sin a City that grows increasingly Flinty. In the Middle of the past summer i was having a drink with Tim Dowd the police in Spector who was running the son of Sam Case and it was late and he did t want to talk about killing so he brought up his past. Head been born in Ireland in Cork and he was raised in South Boston and then the vinegar Hill Section of new York and now late on this night Dowd was saying the Man who said the Best thing about the Irish is Paul o Dwyer. You know what he said the Irish forgot who they Are and Here was o Dwyer last saturday morn ing having Coffee at a Small Kitchen table in his apartment. He was about to Start on another 18 or 19 hours of what he always Rega  a glorious Endeavor the politics of new York. The election on monday should have bred at least some anguish but his tensions two Days before it were those of a Man listen ing to the lapping of a  direction of the City s Campaign so far he was saying centers on How much of the services the candidates feel must be Cut Back. They attack the police for doing nothing he said. I have not heard that people do nothing. I d like to hear specifics. They say to take1,000 men off desks. Who replaces them this in t a Job where you set a quota of work to Bedone each Day. They talk about one Man in a squad car instead of two in a Low crime  knows what a Low crime area is trying to take a cop out of a squad car seems to Besuch a minimal Way of dealing with a great problem. The fact remains that two cops Are better than one in an  the Buzzer sounded. Troops his wife Kathleen said. She went to the door to let in the Campaign workers who were to Start her husband off on his  Dwyer got up and washed his hands. The City sends $13 billion to Washington and we get Little Back he was saying. The bal Ance of our dollars goes All Over the  of it comes Back to the inner City. In the Campaign they re out talking As if the City can alter the unemployment. Nonsense. It s the Job of the National government. Without employment this City is into the business of having to run polite soup  went out to the elevator. His wife stood in the doorway in a  have i got after this he said. She looked up at the ceiling. A lot of walk ing Tours she said. They be got the sched ule  he nodded. Walking Tours Are Good for television he  climbed into the Back seat of a Small Ford which headed downtown. When waste first one of these things you were in he was  against o Brien he said. That was a mayoral race in 1933 Ando Brien ran on a platform that he was in  he won. After his swearing in on the City Hall Steps o Brien was asked who his police commissioner was going to be and he an swered i Don t know they did t Tell me  Don t believe he Ever said that Paul said. The newspapers set him  s a marvelous Story i said. O Dwyer Shook his head. I can t Perpetu ate it even if it is a Good Story. Because then i m no better than the people who made it  first Stop was at the Century hotel on 46th Street. It was supposed to be for a meet ing of 100 leaders of head Start programs. When he got to the hotel he was told he Wouldhave to wait for a few minutes. A German band in for the Steuben Day Parade was changing clothes in the meeting room. O Dwyer finally went upstairs to a Large air less closet and sat and waited for the big group to come in. Finally one Man walked in. He wore Agreen rain jacket with the inscription Mott Haven  he introduced himself a Julius Bennett. I m embarrassed he told o Dwyer. But trying to get people together on a saturday morning Tell us about your situation o Dwyer said. He motioned to the Man to sit Down and then he leaned Forward and this great pair of eyebrows riveted on the Man. It was after 10 o clock now on the next to last Day of a Campaign in the largest City on Earth and any politician with the sense of crowds and camera would have known enough to smile graciously and leave the room in the same motion and Goon for better things. O Dwyer did not move. He sat and listened.

The had a son and were divorced. The next year to keep him fro going to Korea they remarried and had another child. It did Twork and they were divorced again. Trash Valley dropped out of sight for six years. Julia brought up the two children very nicely with no help. Two months ago the double sex appeared out of nowhere and they fell in love again. They planto be married next month for the third  problem i gave Julia some Lovely family  i heard she was going to marry trash Valley for the third time i asked her to return them. She dumped everything on my Doorstep and is quite bitter about my Lousy  i did mean for the heirlooms to be hers but i did not intend for them to end Upin a Cabin on tobacco Road. Am i wrong  . Heirlooms Are supposed to go wherever the owner takes them. When you gave them to Julia they became her property. Sorry about trash Valley but fair is fair. Dear Ann i was disturbed bythe advice you gave the woman who complained about the per Sonal Hygiene of one of her co workers. You suggested without realizing it a Poison pen letter. Some people have an odor that cannot be corrected with a coat of  their feelings would be terribly Hurt by an Anonymous letter. Anyone who cares enough to want to help people should have the courage and decency tout a signature on any letter he writes or better yet he should say something directly but gently. At least the Exchange would be human to human not an Anonymous hate letter. H.m.h., . As a . You should know that perspiration Ona clean body has no odor. It s when the bacteria forms that the problem begins. If a person bathes or showers before work and wears fresh undergarments he will not have a stench thatis unbearable As the writer described it. In special cases where a physical problem exists a Little extra care at lunch Tim would help a lot. Your notion that a caring person should be Able to say something directly and gently Falls Short of realism. Most people when they write Tell Methey just can t do it. So the next Best thing is a carefully worded message unsigned which i Don t consider a Poison pen hat letter in any sense of the wont dear Ann i lost my husband five years ago after 38 years of a Happy marriage. In 19751 started to see a Fine Man whose wife died three years before. I do not Wear my wedding ban but he insists on wearing his. I told him this is not fair to his wife or my husband. Do you agree Ann unsettled dear unsettled i do not. Since his wife and your husband Are no longer living i Don t see where they fit into the picture. My advise is Cool it  be gets ready to put a ring on your Finger he will undoubtedly take his of f. C 1977 Field enterprises inc
