Which " Buddy " and a booze problem ?

I was downtown yesterday morning and could have

    witnessed " the prince of the city " coming out of the Biltmore

    Hotel to face his own  sad judgment day. But I spared myself

    the sadness of seeing " Buddy " come to this - jail bound in

    all probability. I just wanted him to be fairly judged by the

    people on election day. I don't like most judges in their robed

    arrogance: hearing YOUR HONOR too often goes to their head;and

    always LOOKING DOWN on common humanity. A character in a Camus

    novel steals a famous portrait - " The Just Judges "- and hides

    it in his basement for years. ( he himself was a liberal lawyer )

               Just a bit of advice for " Buddy ". I suspect that

    the good Buddy and the bad Buddy are connected to a booze problem.

     How many wrong decisions were made with the help of all those

    business lunch cocktails ?  Prison might at least detoxify you-

    from booze, cigarettes, and power.

                In many Rhode Island scandals  BOOZE plays an

    unrecognized role. I hope " Buddy " finds  some serenity in

    his later years. Adios to the toxic Buddy. A sad good bye to

    the good Buddy.
