All The News For Manhattan Escorts.

Incidents like this are perpetrated too often by those who have sworn a “duty to protect and serve.” The 50 shot execution of Sean Bell was, apparently, precipitated by the alcohol-fueled hallucinations of an undercover officer. And, a couple of weeks after Officer Kelly killed Valnord, another NYPD officer mowed down a 67-year-old woman in the Bronx. In that case, Albanian immigrant Drane Nikac was run over by an inebriated Officer Kevin Spellman at W. 232nd St. and Kingsbridge Ave.
Reports say Spellman ran a light before slamming into Nikac. Spellman also refused to take a Breathalyzer; twice. Spellman was eventually charged with criminally negligent homicide, vehicular homicide and DWI. And, do you remember, Officer Joseph Gray who ran down and killed four people, including a pregnant woman in Brooklyn on Aug. 4, 2001?
In that incident, Officer Gray had been drinking, at several locations including a strip club, which was supposedly off-limits to cops. Reportedly, other cops were also drinking with him, and they thought nothing of letting him drive off drunk. Consequently, Gray killed pregnant 23-year-old Maria Herrera, 4-year-old Andy Herrera and Maria Herrera’s 16-year-old sister Dilcia Pena.

JERSEY CITY — A story in the Sunday Star-Ledger details how former mayoral aide Leona Beldini, 72, who was arrested last July as part of 44 officials and religious leaders nabbed in an FBI corruption sting — was once a famous stripper named “Hope Diamond, burlesque queen.”
In an article filled with clever lines, the newspaper notes that this week she will be on trial “accused of taking cash that did not go into a garter belt, but rather into Jersey City’s tumultuous mayoral campaign.”
Not only was Beldini well-known on the national burlesque circuit throughout the 1950s and 1960s, the story says, but she was inducted into the Burlesque Hall of Fame in Las Vegas in 1995.
The story says she never tried to hide her past career from her public or her family. She joined a chorus line after high school and took a burlesque job later because it paid an extra $50 a week.

I’d like to make a confession: I once worked at Goldman Sachs. Does this make me a money grabbing, elitist, higher performer? I like to think not. It does, however, mean that I’m viewed with a degree of admiration by all the people who’d like to have worked there, but haven’t.
I have plenty of stories to tell – colleagues who were almost thrown out for trips to strip clubs, children of prominent politicians who were apparently shooed through the interview process for their connections. I learnt a lot and met some genuinely smart and driven people. I was also surprised to find that there are plenty of mediocre bankers at the firm– despite its policy of removing the bottom layer each year. Goldman breeds loyalty and big egos, by making people believe that it is a cut above the rest. I’ve noticed that even friends who have left GS are still wistful about their time at the firm.

According to a press release recently issued by Sotheby’s on the painting’s impending sale, Hahn, in “The Rape of La Belle,” “lambastes Duveen’s ‘lust for power’ and vengeful attack on the picture.” Interestingly, he does much more than that. By carefully constructed arguments based on years of his own research during and after the court case, and by relying on some of the testimony of experts at the trial, Hahn attempts to show that the the portrait he and his wife received as a wedding gift is indeed the true da Vinci, and the painting in the Louvre a copy. While such may not be the accepted wisdom, his arguments are substantive enough to deserve a hearing.
In the first place, Hahn asserts that the painting is misnamed, that
La Belle Ferronniere
refers to another portrait of a different woman in profile, albeit a work of da Vinci’s, of which an original and a copy exist. This woman, according to William Sanger’s “A History of Prostitution,”was taken …
