ALICE KAHN & "YUPPIE"
...
Alice Kahn received much credit for coining "yuppie" in 1982 or 1983--now  
ruled out by that 1981 citation.

OT: "BIG APPLE" CAMPAIGN
...
I just looked it up again. The 4-to-1 match applies to  anyone living in the 
five boroughs, not just Manhattan.
...
The New York Times article today mentions the union  endorsements for 
Assemblyman Scott Stringer. He's a long-time mediocrity, a  charter member of the 
worst legislature in the country. He ran for Public  Advocate four years ago and 
lost. He's a career politician who sold out a long  time ago to the city's 
powerful labor unions--just awful.
...
Administrative law judge? How about saying that I have  a popular blog and I 
solved "the Big Apple"?

Assemblyman Gains Support for Manhattan Borough Post
 
By _JONATHAN P. HICKS_

In the crowded race for Manhattan borough president, one  candidate is 
emerging from the pack with prominent union endorsements:  Assemblyman Scott 
Stringer, who plans to announce the backing of the city  teachers' union and several 
other labor organizations today.
...

 
In addition to the support of the United Federation of Teachers, Mr.  
Stringer, a Democrat from the Upper West Side, will also be endorsed by Local  32BJ 
of the Service Employees International Union, which represents janitors;  the 
Communications Workers of America; the Uniformed Fire Officers Association;  
and Unite Here, which represents hotel, restaurant and apparel workers. 
... 
The endorsements are significant for Mr. Stringer in a Democratic primary of  
nine candidates, a race where each of the candidates is looking for any 
possible  advantage. The various unions represent about 65,000 members who live in  
Manhattan. 
... 
"Scott has always worked hard for us," said Michael Fishman, the president of 
 Local 32BJ. "He has walked the picket line with us, and he's been there when 
we  needed him. Scott has worked with us on the fight for minimum wage, and 
he has  worked with us and all the other unions very well." 
... 
Randi Weingarten, the president of the teachers' union, said Mr. Stringer was 
 "like the Eveready battery bunny: He's a tireless worker and a fighter." She 
 added, "The Manhattan borough president race is blessed with several great  
candidates, and it was a very difficult decision in weighing the  candidates." 
... 
Mr. Stringer said the endorsements would help his campaign. "And this is  
tremendous boroughwide boost to my campaign," he said. "It means having a lot of  
people out there on my behalf who are used to campaigning on the streets and  
delivering the message to people." 
... 
The others in the race for borough president include three City Council  
members, Bill Perkins, who represents Harlem; Eva S. Moskowitz from the Upper  
East Side; and Margarita López, who represents the Lower East Side and the East  
Village. Other candidates are Stanley Michels, a former councilman; 
Assemblyman  Adriano Espaillat, who represents Washington Heights; Assemblyman Keith L. 
T.  Wright of Harlem; Carlos Manzano, a former city administrator who is 
active in  Democratic Party politics; and Brian V. Ellner, a lawyer who was elected 
to the  District 2 community school board and served until last year.  
... 
Barry Popik, who is an administrative law judge, is a Republican  candidate.
