An Older Angel Takes The Stand

摘要

Curtis sliwa admits he's a born showman, and during the 1980s, he turned New York's crime wave into a media event. The founder and leader of the Guardian Angels became a household name-and not just because the Angels were a potent force in discouraging criminals. Sliwa's critics say he's nothing more than a publicity hound and he's given them a lot of ammunition over the years. Sliwa has admitted to a handful of fabrications to drum up headlines, including one in 1980, where he staged his own kidnapping before reporting it to police.
