Casey displayed so much energy as a child in New York City's Borough of Queens that playmates nicknamed him Cyclone. A 1934 graduate of Fordham University, he studied law at St. John's University at night while working as a city home-relief investigator during the day. After the war, he set out to make his fortune by practicing law for a New York firm and by writing a series of how-to books for fellow strivers (sample title: How to Raise Money to Make Money...

With Manhattan, he recreated a hilariously familiar world for those who call that stubborn borough's East Side "home."

According to one such plan, the city could be operated under a borough system, with a council elected by both communities, and with Jewish and Arab mayors alternating every four years...
...prevent a recurrence. Middletowners have learned even more. At the time of the accident last year, the town had neither the instruments to monitor radiation levels nor a plan for moving its inhabitants out of danger. Since then, the town has installed radiation detectors on the roof of the borough hall and put together an 80-page program that provides for the evacuation of the town by road, rail, river and even, if it becomes necessary, snowmobile. Said Mayor Reid: "We can empty the town completely in 24 hours. All the folks out at T.M.I. have to do is keep...
