Manhattan: I knew Irene Cara back in the 1970s! I tracked her down after her agent, Selma Rubin, told me she was giving a talk to a group of students at the New York Public Library on W. 52nd St. She was quiet and gracious and said yes when I asked her to perform a benefit concert for the famous Riverside Theatre Workshop, which started at The Riverside Church.
Manhattan: With politicians, you have to watch what they do, not be fooled by what they say. Republicans may be shouting about crime now, but the current crime wave began during Donald Trump’s time in the White House and Republicans did nothing about it when they were in power.
