☆ Cohen Holds His Temper in Check During Hours of Cross-Examination
  + stars: | 2024-05-16 | by ( Michael Wilson | More About Michael Wilson | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Much has been said about Michael D. Cohen’s composure during his lengthy cross-examination, as if it were a facade that couldn’t be expected to hold much longer. Mr. Cohen, 57, is a central-casting New Yorker, brash and sharp-elbowed. After falling out with Mr. Trump, Mr. Cohen turned his fury on his former boss, once calling him a “Cheeto-dusted cartoon villain” on social media. This week, Mr. Trump’s lawyer, Todd Blanche, has tried to lure that earlier version of the witness into the spotlight, repeatedly goading him about lies he has told. Just minutes before Thursday’s lunch break, Mr. Blanche accused Mr. Cohen once again of an untruth, this time about a call to Mr. Trump’s bodyguard.

☆ Cohen’s Cross-Examination to Continue as Trump Trial Enters Homestretch

The questioning of Mr. Cohen, who was Donald J. Trump’s former fixer, is the beginning of the end of the trial, which began April 15 and could conclude before Memorial Day weekend. On Tuesday, Mr. Trump’s lawyer Todd Blanche came out swinging, suggesting that Mr. Cohen had referred to him personally on social media with a vulgarity. Mr. Blanche went on to ask about Mr. Cohen’s longtime habit of talking to reporters, his ignoring requests from prosecutors to stop speaking and his vitriol toward Mr. Trump. Mr. Cohen, who puts out podcasts and TikTok videos, has suggested that Mr. Trump belongs in a cage like an “animal” and referred to him as a “Cheeto-dusted cartoon villain.”In court, Mr. Cohen responded calmly and matter-of-factly, avoiding any outbursts or gaffes that could hurt his credibility. Mr. Cohen testified that Mr. Trump directed him to pay $130,000 in hush money to Stormy Daniels, a porn star, to suppress her account of a sexual rendezvous with the former president in a Lake Tahoe, Nev., hotel in 2006.

☆ The Real Story Behind Shane MacGowan’s ‘Boys of the N.Y.P.D. Choir’
  + stars: | 2023-12-01 | by ( Michael Wilson | More About Michael Wilson | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
“Fairytale of New York” also immortalizes a specific group of people doing a specific thing:“The boys of the N.Y.P.D. Choir,” Mr. MacGowan belted, “were singing ‘Galway Bay.’”Years later, the truth can be told: The boys of the N.Y.P.D. Choir did not know the words to “Galway Bay.”Also, there was no N.Y.P.D. He spun a tale that felt grounded in a real place and conjured from iconic streetscapes, where the wind goes right through you and it’s no place for the old. People who have never set foot in the city can imagine the drunk tank, and the man and woman kissing on the corner and dancing through the night.

The short, slender woman clutches two leashes in her right hand. At their ends are two goats, Marshmallow and Brownie. The three of them stand in the human jet stream of Rockefeller Center, and people stop to take pictures or pet the animals. Only in New York, they say. A young man in a tuxedo, part of a raucous wedding party, stops, grins, and asks what brought her here.

Right behind them are workers in a little-known industry who offer traumatized homeowners what is known as emergency mitigation services. He dove into this hyper-intense new job, he said, chasing fires and the promise of a straight paycheck. His boss had taught him how to immediately find the homeowner in a crowd of people outside a burning home: Look at everyone’s feet. “Everyone got out?” His boss taught him that, too: Act concerned. Never ask how they’re doing.

What if this process was too far along to stop, and she’d let her friend down? Lawyers in housing court deal with all manner of distraught men and women facing evictions with no ready answers, no job, no income. Here was this client, Sheila Sullivan, and her friend with an organized stack of documents drawing a clear line from problem to solution. The lawyer looked at the two women facing her. Ms. Sullivan remembers that day in 2013 when the new neighbor next door rang her buzzer because she had locked herself out.

☆ When the Water Rushed In, Help Rushed Over
  + stars: | 2023-07-10 | by ( Michael Wilson | More About Michael Wilson | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
But terrified residents watching water climb in their homes had no way of knowing when or if help would arrive. It was like a river had been diverted, running now through the middle of the four small buildings that are the Weyant Green Apartments in the village of Highland Falls. Younger relatives were trying to help, but the nearby bridge was covered by several feet of rushing water, and they couldn’t get to the property. Pat Flynn, a former mayor of Highland Falls, made it over in his Explorer with a friend worried for her mother. He saw older men and women — the ones who could stand — cowering in their doorways as water rose up their legs.

☆ 2 Newark Firefighters Brought Years of Service to Their Final Fire
  + stars: | 2023-07-06 | by ( Michael Wilson | More About Michael Wilson | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
When flames raced through a huge cargo ship in Port Newark in New Jersey on Wednesday, it was not some specialized nautical team that ventured into its blazing upper decks. It was city firefighters, whose last job might have been rushing to a burning house or fallen wires, or treating someone with chest pains or helping a woman in labor. “Regular guys” — that’s what people often call firefighters who perish on the job. Two men from Newark, Augusto Acabou, 45, known as Augie, and Wayne Brooks Jr., 49, ran onto that burning ship and didn’t come back. Both regular guys, yes, but each specifically exceptional.
