- Marty Markowitz, Brooklyn borough president, and Tony Danza, president of our hearts and minds.
Mr. Danza was discussing his new book about his time as a teacher. But he was also spontaneously quoting Shakespeare and espousing his support for the teacher's union: "I'm a union guy, I can't help myself. If you chart the decline in reading and the decline in unions the last thirty years, it all adds up."
