**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER By: G. H. HARDING **** Scandal: A Manual RUSH & MOLLOY’S SCANDAL --- Being in the ink-stained wretch business, I knew I was going to love George Rush and Joanna Malloy’s new tome, Scandal: A Manual, but I am truly loving it; not so much for their celebrity-stories (Kirstie Alley, Sylvester Stallone, Don Johnson and Jack Nicholson), but for the memories and references to such legendary newspaper characters like Steve Dunleavy; Richard Johnson; Richard Gooding; Cindy Adams; Liz Smith; Lou Colasuonno; and the dean of them all, Neal Travis.

Gypsy Impalla With Rita Cosby And Vinny Parco Charlie Ruppman With Rita Cosby And Gypsy Impalla Once again I have to say goodbye to my old friends. Everything in this business is changing so much. Gypsy Impalla, an icon at the New York Daily for 47 years. He's leaving. He's gone. Gypsy who started as a proof boy almost 50 years ago and who I met many years ago on my adventures with the Daily News, is moving on. I used to bring him and photo editors Charlie Ruppman and Mike Lipack donuts when I went up to their old 42nd street offices,and they used to be so happy to see me. I really loved going there and seeing them all including Editor Jo Barefoot. I guess I felt important. A guy from little Glen Cove Long Island in the news room of New York's hometown newspaper. I remember being at some party and getting wasted and meeting some drag queen, and I said ,"Hey want to come to the Daily News With Me?. I walked into their 42nd street newsroom and Charlie Ruppman was at th...
