Excerpts:

“I was just another WWII baby who couldn’t wait to get out of the baby ward at Wyckoff Hospital on St. Nicholas Avenue. Four days later I was delivered to my new home. , a dark four room railroad apartment on Jefferson St. At one end was our living room and at the other end was our kitchen with a creaky window that opened to a clothesline and a distant view of Statue of Liberty.

“I don’t like to talk about my life, but I think you better get the facts from the horse’s mouth than from my ex-wife or some shiny Federal Bureau of Idiots suit.” Yeah, these are the same Mamluks who spent years investigating the hidden meaning of “Louie, Louie,” the rock song. Go figure this one out.

“My Brooklyn neighborhood still lives in the dark ages of potions, superstition, magic elixirs, and deadly curses. Touched by an evil eye? You’re cursed. Toast with a glass of water or an empty glass? You You’re cursed. Flipping a loaf of fresh bread? You’re cursed. But as they say in those late-night commercials, “But wait, there’s more!” find a husband? Or maybe, just maybe, you want an elixir to eliminate your mustache that rivals your husband’s? Did my neighborhood get worried? Leave me alone! We had Bianca Elena Lintini – at least that’s how the priests and the Sisters of Saint Joseph knew it, but for us mortals it was La Strega!
