...school, Bartels had joined John Lindsay's old Wall Street law firm, but quit after three years. "I was bored," he says. His flight from boredom took him to the office of U.S. Attorney Robert Morgenthau in New York. In four years there, he says, "I learned the extent of organized crime, the pervasive influence of mobsters." Prodded by his father, a judge in the U.S. District Court for New York's Eastern District, he left Morgenthau in 1968 and went back to private practice. "My father kept telling me I had to grow up.

...work have been encouraging. Newark, scarred by riots three years ago, has been a center of the investigations, and Bartels hopes that indictments there will restore some of the confidence lost over years of political corruption.

He ended the state of emergency, under which police and the army had been sent into the riot zones along the Baltic seacoast...
Dictatorial Ways. Before the book appeared, Brown had followed his own suggestions with considerable success, and presumably tacit Army approval -even to the extent of sponsoring an all-night club for young drug victims and dropouts. What apparently irked his commanders was the fact that he had put his ideas into writing-and, contrary to Army regulations, had not submitted the manuscript for approval.
