...formula have stretched as far as TV writers' imaginations can fetch. The good guys come in wondrous array: in uniform (Adam-12, The Rookies), in disguise (Toma), in court (Perry Mason, Owen Marshall) and in hayseed (Hawkins, McCloud). They are black (Shaft, Tenafly), elderly (The Snoop Sisters), bald (Kojak), Polish (Banacek), portly (Cannon), paralytic (Ironside) and partly computer (The Six Million Dollar Man).

He sold up in 1937 and worked as an art teacher and writer until 1947, when he turned to painting full time. His work went unrecognized until his last decade. After shows in prestigious venues...
...Poland, plans are afoot to build a new museum that will recreate homes, streets and whole villages representing 800 years of Jewish life.
