	Abraham Beame (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Abraham David Beame (known as Abe Beame) (March 20, 1906 – February 10, 2001) was mayor of New York City from 1974 to 1977.
		Beame was a "clubhouse" or machine politician, a product of the Brooklyn wing of the regular Democratic organization (that borough's equivalent of Manhattan's Tammany Hall) as opposed to the "reform" Democrats who entered New York politics in the 1950s.
		Beame outpolled former Congresswoman Bella Abzug, Congressman Herman Badillo and Manhattan Borough President Percy Sutton in the 1977 primary.

	Abraham D. Beame (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Beame was the city's first Jewish mayor and the second ex-mayor to die in the last two months.
		Beame spent his last years defending his reputation from those who said he was a bean-counter who couldn't count - a man who, as city budget director, comptroller and finally as mayor from 1974 through 1977, failed to prevent a fiscal catastrophe.
		Beame's hopes of a second term were dashed by his third-place finish, behind Edward I. Koch and Mario Cuomo, in a six-candidate Democratic primary.

		When Beame entered office he inherited a $1.5 billion budget gap that had come to a head as other crises hit the city and the nation, including the Watergate investigation, a move to end war in Vietnam, terrorist bombings in New York and a city wide power failure that resulted in violence and lootings.
		Beame was at last successful in hammering out emergency plans, programs and stopgaps as well as securing state and federal loans from the heads of the state and the nation, but bore the brunt of public dissatisfaction.
		Beame was particularly criticized for unavoidable tax and public transportation increases, cuts of city employees and wage freezes and the implementation of tuition fees for his alma mater, City College.

		Abraham David Beame was the son of Polish Jews who, like hundreds of thousands of others were fleeing persecution in Czarist Russia.
		While his rivals were at home in the upper class suburbs of New York and New England, Abraham would be calling on all friends back in the working class district of Queens, many of whom had accompanied the Beame family on the long ocean crossing from the East End to Ellis Island.
		Beame found himself pilloried by the media for the mounting debt, though he had inherited 15 years of municipal mismanagement.

	Editorial Abe Beame, Mayor In Fiscal Crisis
		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.

	TIME.com: Patient Abe Beame Rises to the Top -- Nov. 19, 1973 -- Page 1
		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.
		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.
		With strong organizational support, Beame defeated the Wagner-backed candidate in the 1965 Democratic primary race for mayor, and went on to run in the general election.

		As Abraham was sitting at the entrance of his tent by the terebinths of Mamre at the heat of the day, he looked up and saw God in the form of three men, and he ran, bowed to the ground, and welcomed them.
		Abraham replied that he had thought that Gerar had no fear of God and would kill him because of his wife, and that she was in fact his father’s daughter though not his mother’s, so he had asked of her the kindness of identifying him as her brother.
		Abraham was 100 years old when Isaac was born, and Sarah remarked that God had brought her laughter and everyone would laugh with her about her bearing Abraham a child in his old age.

		Beame, who grew up on New York's Lower East Side, was city budget director (1952–61).
		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.

		BEAME's difficulties in finding honest officials, at least according to The Times, stemmed in large part from the fuss people have made about the Nixon administration's corruption.

		He was successful because people recognized that Abe Beame took genuine pride in being a New Yorker, and he inspired their pride.
