The extent to which he's succeeded-on his watch, crime is down by 38%, and homicide by 44%-is not only remarkable, it's a testament to his skill and dedication. During Howard's tenure, the Department reduced crime by more than it has under any other Police Commissioner. Howard has enjoyed a long and distinguished career in law enforcement. I wish him the best as he begins this new chapter in his life. (Howard Safir)
The time has come and fall has come so pretty... The yellow leaves are flying over the city... I am in love with you. Your golden hair is flying so clear in the air. I am in love with fall, which came with rain... It brought the morning mists... The days are waned... I know the wintry wind will break her gown. I say to fall: come back, don't let me down. The yellow leaves are whirling in the city. I've met my love too late, it is a pity. At last we are together and forever. I know well that better late than never. The time has come and fall has come so pretty... The yellow leaves as dreams adorned the city... I am in love with you. Your golden hair is flying as a cobweb in the air... View quote

O fair, false city, thou gay and gilded harlot! Wo for thy wanton heart, wo for thy wicked hardness! Wo unto thee, that the lightsomeness of life, beneath Italian suns, Should meet the solemnity of death, in a sepulchre so foul and fearful! View quote
