Sitting on the floor as a 70s kid watching the WNEW news and listening to my Grandfather tell the story of how Victor Riesel lost his eyesight. "Some of those New York gangsters threw acid in his face."
I remember when Dr. Abend was nailed by NY State for allegedly covering up his NYC address to escape NYC income taxes. I am not sure how that case played out in the end, or whether it played a role in his departure from TV.
Ah yes, Dr. Martin Abend. Who, with Prof. Sidney Offit, was one of two impeti for the "Weekend Update" Point/Counterpoint sketches (the other, of course, being the "60 Minutes" segments with James J. Kilpatrick and Shana Alexander).
