...Dunham, the Harlem licensee, was a New York City cop. He faced some problems that Hamburger U. did not prepare him for. Teen-age gangs tried to claim the store as their turf. "They would come in with their chains and start rapping them on the counter," says Dunham. One day Dunham pulled out the .38 revolver that he is licensed to carry and told the gang leaders: "The moment you come in here, you belong to me." Then he bought the leaders hamburgers, talked about black image with them, and gave some of them jobs. Today, Dunham...
Heading the list of Blue's unacknowledged credits is Easy Rider, with all its patchwork imitations. The script concerns a sawed-off Arizona motorcycle cop named John Wintergreen (Robert Blake) who yearns to achieve style and respect by becoming a detective like Marve Poole (Mitchell Ryan).

If I ignore the whole thing, I'm a cop-out." Deservedly known as a wit and wordsmith during his years as an Administration speechwriter, Safire has kept his sense of humor throughout the ordeal, although his neologisms ("presibuster" for the Ervin hearings, "probephiliacs" for those investigating Watergate) are shorter on style than many of his admirers had expected...
