Others recall his 1940s public relations work for "Bugsy" Siegel's Flamingo Hotel and wonder if Greenspun is still friendly with local mobsters. "That's the goddamnedest, most fabricated lie," he says, and points as proof to his occasional diatribes against organized crime.

...clay--some utilitarian crowd-pleasing bowls and vases, others more aesthetic and esoteric. Her work is centered on the idea that geometric shapes can grow into organic bodies. One piece looks like a horse's head resting on a three dimensional triangle; another resembles a pyramid changing into a flamingo. Though these creations were assembled especially for this presentation--most have been made since September--they nevertheless lack the group coherence and consistency that should characterize a professional show. Her pieces reflect a young hard-working artist who has not yet found a definite style...
