I've turned down over 30 people who wanted in for the same reason as Charles Bronson in Death Wish-because somebody in their family has been attacked." Recruits are first tested for reflexes and ability to go without sleep, then for tolerance of verbal abuse, as Sliwa calls them "nigger" or "spik," the least of the taunts they may get in the subway.
