Manhattan Escorts: Allan Kornblum Dies, Wrote Key Parts of Surveillance Act
Avants was convicted and sentenced to life in prison, where he died in 2004.
By 1969, Kornblum had become director of security at Princeton University, where he received a doctorate from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs in 1973, his dissertation on ethical behavior and corruption in the New York City Police Department. Because he was a student as well as an administrator, he was able to attend many “students-only” meetings as unrest swept the nation’s campuses. He creatively ended a December 1970 “snow riot,” a semi-nude demonstration by hundreds of students at the first snowfall, by starting a chant of “Dillon! Dillon!” that directed them to Dillon Gym, where hot chocolate and doughnuts awaited. Two years later, after women had been admitted to Princeton, he established escort services to ensure their safety.
