Meeting in Manhattan

Richard Roberts and Christopher Arnander

Chapter Prologue in Take Your Partners, 2001, pp 1-2 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Wednesday 29 April 1970 was a fine day for founding a bank. It was spring in Manhattan, with clear skies and an unseasonably warm 78 degrees Fahrenheit.1 The New York Times’ lead story was President Nixon’s forthcoming address to the American public on the prosperous state of the US economy, but there was also a report on the war in Vietnam spilling into Cambodia. Senator Edward Kennedy was being questioned about the Chappaquiddick episode. Black Panthers were demonstrating in New Haven. The fashion pages featured midi-skirts and gaucho pants. The New York Mets, baseball’s reigning world champions, had trounced the San Francisco Giants.
