...This will hardly dent the storekeepers' losses, which city officials estimated at $155 million (a sharp drop from their ballpark guess of $1 billion a week earlier). Merchants and property owners are also eligible for low-interest (6⅝%) Small Business Administration loans, but City Councilman Ramon Velez exclaimed: "The forms are so difficult it is unbelievable!" Nonetheless. 1,699 people got applications for loans, and SBA officials anticipated a total of about 3,000 applications for $60 million by their deadline of Sept. 16. Community leaders were confident that at least two-thirds of the stores will reopen...
...open-mouthed grin (in which a Sopwith Camel could do circus loops without destroying the bridgework) remind one of a cross between Everest and Margaret Dumont. He is a natural wonder and a natural comedian. Mark Szpak's slithering, thrilling Juana deBoise puts him in a class with Lupe Velez and Luis Tiant--all unintelligible delights. David Levi as Sonya Vabitsche looks like a very funny lab sample of Venereal Disease germs and David Merrill as Ophelia Heartbeat is a knockout. The rest of the cast works well, too.

...everyone else on the force has it in mind. "There are 30,000 cops looking for that guy," says Averill. The dragnet has turned up unanticipated side benefits. The bank-robbery evidence has led to the tagging of two more men-already jailed on different offenses-as accomplices of Velez, Segarra and Car Owner Hernandez (who is wanted for allegedly taking part in the bank jobs). Raids based on tips about the suspects in the cop-killing cases have also uncovered various small caches of narcotics and $8,000 in cash, and led to the arrest of a parole violator...
...Torrential rains all day in the dark city. Late in the afternoon, police raid a Bronx apartment of Velez's girl friend and find a phone number. It does not check out, but police ask the New York Telephone Co. for addresses of phones with a single transposition of any of the digits. They check out two possibilities. No luck. At the third, on West 19th Street, Lieutenant John J. Yuknes, 45, who has been running the mechanics of the search, posts officers at the building's exits. Not knowing which of the 18 apartments contains the phone...
