...Falk steeps the role in a New York City boy's moxie and malarky. After winning a case, he shrugs: "You can't lose them all." Not in court anyway, though Falk blows enough on the ponies and at craps to stay hopelessly in arrears on his rent and alimony payments. All of which should make him an empathic and irresistible anti-hero to all but a handful of complaining image makers from the American Bar Association. The latter have already issued a complaint...
...French and British at Salonika in 1915, the Macedonian theater was treated as an unwanted stepchild of the Allied high command and the dumping ground for cashiered generals. As Sir William Robertson, the Chief of the Imperial General Staff, saw it, the Macedonian expedition "had no military justification."

Jesse Gray, leader of the rent strikes in Harlem during 1963: "We need 100 skilled black revolutionaries, dedicated men ready to die. We must make each a platoon captain, and each must get 100 more. New York can be changed by 50,-000 well-organized Negroes. They can determine what will happen to the city." Harlem...
...lowers FHA down payments for all buyers on higher-priced homes, lets the Government underwrite land-purchase and development loans for builders. The Government will provide urban-renewal payments to individual low-income families that want to fix up their own places, will also give low-income families rent supplements that it hopes will encourage the creation of as many as 375,000 new apartments. The construction industry, now running 3% ahead of last year, will get an additional stimulant to order steel, concrete...
