	FORWARD : Editorial (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Beame is best remembered as the machine politician who had the bad luck to become mayor just as New York's finances were tumbling over the brink.
		Beame came along at a moment of historic change, just as the globalizing impact of new technologies was conspiring to destroy New York's old economy and tax base.
		Abe Beame played the roles he was assigned with dignity and skill.

	Abraham Beame - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abraham David Beame (known as Abe Beame) (March 20, 1906 – February 10, 2001) was mayor of New York City from 1974 to 1977.
		As such, he presided over the city during the fiscal crisis of the mid-1970s, during which the city was almost forced to declare bankruptcy.
		Beame was the first openly Jewish mayor of New York City, although earlier Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia's mother was actually Jewish.

	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Caution Reigns in New York
		Beame's election is a return to machine-type politics in a city which had been dominated by the Democratic machine for nearly 100 years.
		Beame's combination of cautious administration and the meticulous pluralism called for by his organizational base will lock his administration into the same types of solutions that failed in the past, the blind him to many of the innovations in areas like land use and open-space planning would go for towards improving the urban environment.
		Abe Beame has adopted the world view of the machine politician; he is the reflection of the political organization's view of the electorate.

	The next mayor \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		When Abe Beame took over as the 104th mayor of New York City on the last day of 1973, he inherited a city that was $1.5 billion in debt – the result of 15 years of financial mismanagement – and teetering toward bankruptcy.
		We cite Beame's measures not to in any way suggest they might be a prescription for San Diego and its $1.5 billion pension fund deficit – also the result of years of mismanagement – and the talk of bankruptcy here.
		Abe Beame took New York City from near-insolvency to surplus by pulling together the powerful labor unions, the business community, the public and, ultimately, the governor and the president behind a plan for the community's best interests.

	Joseph Mercurio on "Mayor Abe Beame: Mayor of New York, Comptroller, Budget Director"
		Beame went on, in 1973, to win a four-way Democratic Primary with 34.5% of the vote, eventually winning a four-way General Election by a little less than a million votes.
		Beame argued that the worst had passed and that his predecessors had caused the city's fiscal problems in the first place.
		Beame came in third in the Democratic Primary, with only 17,000 fewer votes than the winner, Ed Koch, and only 7,000 votes away from his nearest rival, Mario Cuomo, the hand-picked candidate of Governor Carey.

		Beame was a product of another time who had the bad luck to become mayor as the era that produced him was ending.
		Beame was reduced to being a figurehead while others took control of the city in which he had grown up and of which he was the first Jewish mayor.
		The public Beame was an honest, unpretentious public servant who made a major contribution to a new understanding of the limits of government and what the term "fiscal responsibility" really means.

		Abraham David Beame once summed up his ambition to be mayor of New York City in one succinct sentence: "I would like to be La Guardia without the frills." Certainly there is nothing frilly about 67-year-old Beame, who in January will become the city's 104th mayor.
		About the only similarity between Beame and La Guardia (who was the city's fiery mayor from 1934 to 1945) is their height: 5 ft. 2 in.
		Beame's dogged professionalism has long impressed fellow Democrats, as did his bold independence in breaking away in the 1960s from Democratic Mayor Robert Wagner over matters of municipal finance.

		Abe Beame loved the many facets of life in the City of New York, and he conveyed that to people.
		He was successful because people recognized that Abe Beame took genuine pride in being a New Yorker, and he inspired their pride.

		Beame's life and public career epitomize the meteoric rise and important contributions of immigrants to New York City in the twentieth century.
		Beame's mother went to London and a few months after Abraham was born, they joined his father in New York City, passing through the immigration station on Ellis Island.
		Beame graduated from the High School of Commerce with a perfect score on his Regents book keeping exam and attended City College, which was a highly competitive, tuition-free institution that catered to gifted but poor immigrant students.

		Beame organized support within the party organization, and used the resources of his office.
		Beame's campaign had taken out advertisements in Jewish newspapers saying, "Vote as if your life depends upon it, because it does." In a televised debate, condemning all such appeals to ethnic solidarity, Badillo confronted Beame about the ads, which Beame repudiated.
		The racially opportunistic Siegel exaggerates the "racism" of Jewish mayor Abe Beame, that supposedly cost Badillo the Democratic nomination, and thus, the mayoralty, in 1973, without at all mentioning the virulent fl racism that destroyed Badillo's 1985 campaign.

		In 1977, Beame ran for reelection as mayor but was eliminated in a hotly contested Democratic primary in which none of the candidates won the required 40 percent of the ballots cast.

		After defeating John Lindsay in the 1973 mayoral election, Beame faced the worst fiscal crisis in the city's history and spent the bulk of his term attempting to ward off bankruptcy.
		He slashed the city workforce, froze wages, and restructured the budget, moves that proved insufficient until reinforced by actions from newly created state-sponsored entities and the granting of federal funds.

		Thirty years ago when Abe Beame was the Mayor of New York City he had an assistant Mayor named Louis Wein (even though Beame was a Democrat and Wein was a Republican).
		But, Mayor Beame was coming under fire for having a Conservative Republican so high up in his administration, so Beame offered Wein much (including patronage jobs for family members and illegal bribes) to become a Democrat- Wein refused on principle.
		Beame then demoted Wein forcing him to work in the office of emergency preparedness assuming Wein would just be buried with paper work.

	Shadow Warrior: Howard Rubenstein's Life in Conflict
		Rubenstein went too far when he called Beame for one of his clients, who wanted to open an amusement park in Staten Island.
		Though his four years as the unpaid head of Beame's kitchen cabinet cost him short-term, it paid off when it became clear in August 1975 that the city was running out of money and hurtling toward default on $8 billion in short-term municipal debt.
		At the request of Judah Gribetz, an aide to Governor Carey who lived in the Rockaways near Beame and Rubenstein, Rubenstein carried messages, made bad news palatable for the mayor, and helped keep the fragile talks from being derailed by animosity between Carey, who'd opposed the Brooklyn machine, and Beame, who personified it.

		It was a week, also, when muted eulogies were offered to the memory of a former mayor, Abe Beame, who died at the age of 94.
		Further, it was a pity for Mr Beame, the short, grey accountant to have had to follow Mr Lindsay, the dashing superintendent of Fun City from 1966 to 1973, who was blessed with a fixed image of youthfulness.
		On Mr Lindsay's death last December at the age of 79 the portrait was that of the civic leader who went on the streets of the city's fl communities on the night of Martin Luther King's assassination to show that someone cared.
