Now, Ms. Graff, his former personal assistant at the Trump Organization, has become the second person to testify against Mr. Trump in his criminal trial in Lower Manhattan. At Trump Tower, Ms. Graff served as Mr. Trump’s gatekeeper. The Queens native had an office right outside his door, placing her within earshot of Mr. Trump’s requests to get someone on the phone. And when someone wanted to reach Mr. Trump, they first had to go through Ms. Graff, often requiring a secret code to be put through. She acted as Mr. Trump’s media liaison, scheduler, sometimes spokeswoman, fund-raising planner, co-star on his realty show “The Apprentice” and as a Miss Teen USA judge.

William M. Casey, a former New York City deputy police chief who was the unheralded hero of the “Dirty 30” corruption investigation that ensnared one-sixth of the officers assigned to a West Harlem precinct, died on Nov. 9 at his home in Pleasantville, N.Y. The cause was complications of a stroke and Parkinson’s disease, his daughter, Kimberly Wildey, said. The scandal — often described as the largest police corruption case involving a single precinct in the department’s history — was uncovered by a commission on police corruption appointed by Mayor David N. Dinkins in 1992 and headed by Justice Milton Mollen of the New York State Supreme Court. The case was prosecuted by the U.S. attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York under Mary Jo White. The operation resulted in charges against 34 officers, 30 of whom were either convicted or pleaded guilty to crimes ranging from perjury and civil rights violations to stealing drugs or cash from narcotics dealers.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa.

Opinion | Rudy Giuliani’s Real Legacy

To the Editor:Re “Rudy Giuliani Was Always Like This,” by Jamelle Bouie (column, Aug. 20):History teaches us many things, but the tragic downfall of “America’s mayor” reminds us that clever P.R., along with sudden media infatuation, should always be viewed with skepticism. I stood with Mayor David Dinkins when he faced what could only be characterized as a racist police riot, which Mr. Bouie recalls in his column. New York is a very different place than it was in 1992, and the N.Y.P.D. is, thankfully, a very different police department. But the fact that Mr. Giuliani never apologized for his fiery speech at that police protest, where other attendees shouted extremely vitriolic and racially insulting taunts at Mayor Dinkins, should not have been forgotten after Sept. 11, when so many embraced Mr. Giuliani as “America’s mayor.” No, Mr. Giuliani was never really “America’s mayor.”I wish more could remember David Dinkins as the epitome of dignity in very difficult times, and ensure his place in history as a trailblazer who made us proud of his leadership.

Giuliani never acknowledged or condemned the racism of the police riot. His performance galvanized supporters and almost certainly contributed to his narrow victory over Dinkins in his rematch with the incumbent mayor in 1993. What does any of this have to do with the Rudy Giuliani of 2023? Well, if we think of Giuliani as the personification of American resilience in the face of terrorism, then his turn against democracy and the rule of law is bewildering and inexplicable. Even at the moment of his greatest political triumph, Giuliani was a fraught and divisive figure.

Bill de Blasio and his wife, Chirlane McCray, announced their separation on Wednesday. McCray publicly identified as a lesbian when she began dating de Blasio in the 1990s. De Blasio recalled wondering if there was "a time bomb ticking" in their marriage because of it. McCray wrote that article for ESSENCE Magazine in 1979, over a decade before she met de Blasio when they both worked for former Mayor David Dinkins. "I discovered my preference for women early, before getting locked into a traditional marriage and having children," McCray wrote at the time.

[1/4] Emergency personnel respond to a shooting at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan, U.S., February 13, 2023. Few official details about the gun violence were immediately available, but Chris Rozman, interim deputy chief of the university police, said shots were fired in two locations - at an academic building called Berkey Hall and the Michigan State University (MSU) Union building. He also said the university was not aware of any threats made to the campus before Monday's bloodshed. Four classmates were killed and six students and a teacher were wounded in that attack, the deadliest U.S. school shooting that year. Governor Gretchen Whitmer said on Twitter that she was being briefed on the East Lansing shooting.
Oakridge's air quality index was 487, in the hazardous category, according to the federal airnow.gov website. The air quality index measures a combination of ozone and particulate pollution in the air. In Oregon, smoke from numerous fires has been held close to the ground by a weather system, he said. Rain expected on Friday throughout the region was expected to aid firefighting efforts and improve air quality. The federal government's InciWeb wildfire information site shows more than two dozen wildfires currently burning in Washington and Oregon.
Victoria istorică a lui Dinkins la alegerile din 1989 a fost rapid eclipsată de o creştere a criminalităţii şi a tensiunilor rasiale care au subminat realegerea sa pentru un nou mandat, în 1993.Decesul lui David Dinkins a survenit la puţin mai mult de o lună după ce soţia sa Joyce a încetat din viaţă, la 11 octombrie.În cele două decenii trecute după ce a plecat de la primărie, Dinkins a predat la Universitatea Columbia, s-a implicat în acţiuni caritabile şi a mai apărut doar ocazional în public, rămânând în general o prezenţă discretă.În 1995, Dinkins a fost supus unui triplu bypass coronarian, iar 13 ani mai târziu a suferit o altă intervenţie la valvă. În 2013 a văzut lumina tiparului autobiografia sa "A Mayor's Life: Governing New York's Gorgeous Mosaic" ("Viaţă de primar: Să guvernezi extraordinarul mozaic newyorkez"), titlul care redă cea mai cunoscută expresie folosită de Dinkins din cei patru ani petrecuţi la City Hall.Alegerea sa a fost salutată atunci ca începutul unei noi ere pentru oraşul pe care l-a descris în discursul de inaugurare "un mozaic extraordinar", Dinkins fiind văzut ca o voce a schimbării, a calmului şi compromisului, după cele trei mandate ale predecesorului său Ed Koch, perceput drept caustic şi înclinat spre confruntare. "Dinkins a proiectat un tip de personalitate care nu este ameninţătoare pentru albi şi este acceptabilă pentru negri", a afirmat la un moment dat fostul congresmen Floyd Flake.Ca primar, Dinkins s-a confruntat cu un val în creştere de probleme, aproape încă din prima zi, începând cu dezastrul din trezoreria oraşului şi reputaţia sa grav avariată şi până la "epidemia" de cocaină care făcea ravagii.Până la finalul primului său an la primărie, omuciderile ajunseseră la un nivel record în New York - peste şase pe zi, sau o crimă la patru ore -, totul culminând în 1991 cu aşa-zisele revolte de la Crown Heights, izbucnite după moartea unui copil afro-american de 7 ani lovit de o maşină condusă de un evreu.O anchetă i-a reproşat ulterior lui Dinkins că nu a reuşit să ţină sub control escaladarea violenţelor între afro-americanii şi evreii din cartier, raportul de anchetă fiind publicat cu câteva luni înainte de alegerile din 1993, câştigate de Rudy Giuliani, care a transformat revoltele într-o temă de campanie.Victoria lui Dinkins asupra lui Koch fusese asigurată de aceleaşi probleme care i-au marcat propria administraţie - problemele rasiale şi criminalitatea. Popularitatea administraţiei Koch a fost grav afectată de o crimă din august 1989, când un adolescent de culoare a fost asasinat de o bandă de albi. O lună mai târziu, Dinkins a câştigat alegerile primare democrate în defavoarea primarului în exerciţiu, apoi, la scrutin, l-a depăşit pe republicanul Giuliani cu doar 50.000 de voturi, într-una din cele mai strânse curse electorale de acest nivel din istoria oraşului, scrie agerpres.ro.
