One of America’s greatest distance runners is excited about the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead after a job she modestly describes as ‘cushy’ “This will be my last time racing Boston in the professional field,” Linden said a few weeks before this year’s race. Despite countless accolades, Linden wanted her final pro marathon to be about the competition, not a farewell tour that could get in the way of her goal of “leaving it all out there one last time.” A few weeks before her final 26.2, Linden shared how her identity as a pro marathoner is evolving and what may come next – a process that is not easy or straightforward, especially if you’ve been defined by one job for nearly half your life. “It’s time, it’s necessary. I want this to be my last Boston because I want to give it everything,” said Linden. “I want to get to the finish and be like, I suffered all day and never took the easy way out. The end point gives me extra motivation to do it right, to not make excuses or keep running to just cash a check. I feel satisfied, there’s nothing else to achieve.” As to what comes next, Linden isn’t sure, but didn’t want attention on her future to distract from her goal, racing Boston to her best. To stay focused, she kept the news a secret until the morning of the race, sharing her retirement in a full page ad in the Boston Globe. This didn’t make stepping away any easier, though. “Retiring is like having your favorite dog get near the end,” says Linden, “it’s hard to know when to make that call and how to do it with dignity, but I wouldn’t ask someone else to come in and tell me when to put my dog down, so I’m not going to ask anyone when I should stop my professional career.” For Linden, retirement is part of a natural process. “It’s a universal human experience to have things come to an end,” Linden says “but to have had my big moment is incredible. That was really, really special. Some athletes get worried about who they will be once they’re done, but I think maybe not defining ourselves as our careers is a little more healthy.” Read moreAs a coffee and bourbon aficionado Liden has her hands in many different pots already but this step away from professional marathoning will give me more balance playing soccer and softball with her older sister Her parents encouraged the pair to spend time outside and “not sit in front of the TV,” says Linden Her first race was the Junior Carlsbad mile which she finished before most of the boys “My dad sent me out there in sweat pants and I can’t even imagine what kind of shoes.” finding purpose and clarity racing the clock and competing for the podium “Competition was what kept me in the sport for so long I love testing myself against others and finding out how good I can be,” said Linden As a high school freshman she ran a sub-five minute mile and was a finalist at the California state meet all four years of high school She went on to be a two time All-American at Arizona State University showing potential despite never winning a conference or national championship Linden moved to Michigan to try her hand at a pro career Linden’s consistent progression is easy to map looking backwards Even though many professional athletes tell the outside world that it’s about the process I always wanted to win and so do most pros.” Despite her fierce competitiveness, Linden is simultaneously as selfless as pros come. Her bestseller book, Choosing To Run is dedicated to “everyone who’s brave enough to lace it up and take the first step,” emblematic of her core values Instead of a biography that waxes poetic about her achievements “I think about these people a lot,” says Linden “At this point it’s easy for me to go run because my life is built around running It’s hard and humbling and tough to be a beginner Marathoning stands out in that amateurs and pros run the same course on the same day even if their experiences are quite different Being the best marathoner means sacrificing a lot “I don’t like the word sacrifice because it was an intentional choice for me,” says Linden “In some ways it’s the most cushy job in the world but it’s all worth it when you’ve done everything you can and you didn’t leave anything on the table.” Linden has run at the highest level for nearly two decades without letting outside noise drag her down “You’ll find lots of people who will tell you why you can’t or little excuses so you don’t scrap for every second” says Linden just ask somebody who doesn’t have your best interest in mind The Boston Marathon is different from the other six Majors due to its course and rules It passes eight small towns on its way from Hopkinton to Copley Square in the center of Boston with many of the roads dating back centuries as they run over a series of rolling hills It’s less about splits and more about pure racing with a crescendo as you get into the city and the greatest finishing stretch in the world.” Linden has had her personal ups and downs at Boston breaking through in 2011 only to scratch before the start in 2013 while recovering from a femur fracture which forced her to consider early retirement She refound a love for running and returned before another low in 2017 when the first super shoes dominated the race “That crushed me in a really big way,” said Linden “The shoes took away the core meaning of the sport It was immediately clear how much they impacted the results.” The next year, in freezing Nor’easter that forced many athletes to drop out, Linden won “There have been so many incredible moments in racing history at Boston and I was lucky to put my name in that story the field has gotten deeper and winning times have dropped significantly while Linden has moved from her prime into the masters division “The last couple years I’ve lost the pack earlier than I would have liked and still run 2:29 Linden covered the first big move and stayed in touch with the lead pack longer hitting the halfway mark at 1:11 and finishing in 2:26 – the fastest she had completed the course since 2017 Linden was the first master’s woman and 17th overall a clear sign that even her best day wasn’t close to the podium This was a best case scenario – leaving it all other there one last time while leaving Linden confident she had made the right decision I want to push myself and if it’s not here I need to figure out where.” Without all the answers Linden is excited for the next chapter and the opportunity for “a second prime or a third prime.” “I’m not choosing to stop running,” says Linden Reinventing yourself and finding new

© COPYRIGHT New York YIMBY® LLC YIMBY IS A REGISTERED TRADEMARK OF NIKOLAI FEDAK / NEW YORK YIMBY LLC BOSTON — Des Linden finished 17th among the women Monday afternoon in the 2025 Boston Marathon when many people were just getting out of bed that Linden delivered some news that would soon have everyone buzzing from Hopkinton to Copley Square In keeping with a longstanding Boston Marathon tradition which is that you just never know when there’s going to be a big surprise Linden’s surprise arrived with the morning paper As a means of announcing she plans to step away from professional marathoning took out a full-page color ad that ran in the Monday edition of the Boston Globe It’s important to note that Desiree Nicole Davila — married name: Linden — grew up in California She’s not some zany Boston sports fan whose teenage bedroom was festooned with posters of Cam Neely and Nomar Garciaparra She probably knows next to nothing about Boston’s tricky traffic rotaries is that anyone who does the Boston Marathon is forever changed Whether you run it to win it or run it to finish it the Boston Marathon pulls you in and never lets go (Or as longtime marathoner and trainer Susan Hurley calls them the then-Desiree Davila placed second in the women’s division just two seconds behind Caroline Kilel of Kenya with freezing rain pelting the runners from start to finish Linden ran a race within the race as she mulled dropping out she made her move at the base of Heartbreak Hill and won the women’s division in 2:39:59 — better than four minutes ahead of fellow American Sarah Sellers — to become the first U.S women’s runner to win the Boston Marathon in 33 years readers of the Boston Globe found Linden’s announcement on page C3 of the Sports section: “Dear Boston: I made my debut at 26.2 on your roads in 2007 and fell in love — with the distance and with the Boston Marathon we were in it together as you lifted me up through the Newton Hills carried me as I turned Right on Hereford and Left on Boylston and brought me with two heartbreaking seconds of victory.” Meeting with the media Monday afternoon after her 17th-place finish Linden revealed the fine print of her retirement announcement “It’s just the end of professional marathoning This obviously is where all my focus has been Linden was asked about the method she chose to announce she’s stepping away from professional marathoning but it seemed like the thing to do,” Linden said The news quickly became the big pre-marathon talker Linden helped things along by posting a screen grab of the ad on Instagram What’s noteworthy is less the mode of dissemination and more about the message USA!” chant she heard as she raced after Kilel in her desperate pursuit of victory it was the impromptu afterparty at the old Red Lantern in the Back Bay She drank champagne out of a shoe that night “A Brooks casual street shoe,” Linden once told me She remembers the shoe from which she drank champagne Linden was asked if she had any waves of nostalgia during Monday’s marathon run but her responses suggested that even memories of the good old days can be used to gain an edge Such as when she was asked about taking over the 2018 race at the front door to Heartbreak Hill “I thought about that a little bit,” she said but that’s more from a strategic perspective where it’s like this is a good place to regroup I remember making a right-hand turn at the fire station and looking back and If this was Linden’s last at-bat as a marathoner she didn’t go out with a home run the way Ted Williams did on that cool when he socked a pitch from Baltimore Orioles right-hander Jack Fisher into the Boston bullpen Teddy Ballgame didn’t doff his cap that day Des Linden spent pretty much all of Monday doffing her cap Linden has plenty of friends and family in town Plans for Monday night in her beloved Boston “I haven’t thought that far ahead,” Linden said (Top photo: Des Linden embraces her husband

functions with the College and other College leadership to support faculty development ensure effective administrative operations and contribute to the strategic goals of the College Aging and sleep are fundamental biological processes that are highly conserved across species Disruptions or deficiencies in these processes have been linked to a wide range of diseases Investigating the biology of sleep and aging not only enhances our understanding of their core functions and underlying mechanisms but also sheds light on how these processes interact with other health conditions By studying molecular components and neural circuits in a simple model organism like Caenorhabditis elegans—which has a fully mapped genome and nervous system along with tools to manipulate gene and brain function—we can directly explore the processes of sleep and aging This approach offers valuable insights into fundamental questions such as why do we sleep The roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans is an ideal model for studying aging and sleep due to its behavioral similarities to humans including clear sleep-like states and distinct physiological changes between sleep and wakefulness Many of the anatomical and functional changes observed in human aging are also present in C combined with a rapid 2-3 day life cycle and small size makes it highly amenable to genetic manipulation and high-throughput screening for mutations that affect sleep and aging elegans genes share strong homology with their human counterparts especially those involved in the regulation of sleep and aging The model has already led to key discoveries such as RNA interference and the genetic regulation of programmed cell death and continues to be a powerful tool for advancing research in sleep and aging Sleep and metabolic processes are deeply interconnected insufficient sleep is linked to obesity and type 2 diabetes We are exploring the genes and neurons that regulate these sleep-metabolic interactions Our recent research has revealed that the conserved salt-inducible kinase 3 (SIK3) pathway plays a crucial role in the metabolic regulation of various sleep states in C including developmentally-timed sleep (similar to circadian sleep) and stress-induced sleep (comparable to sickness sleep) The SIK3 proteins and their targets are highly conserved across C we are investigating how SIK3 coordinates the interaction between sleep and metabolism through genetic and neural approaches as well as high-throughput behavioral analyses to better understand why this pathway is critical for maintaining health Our lab is also focused on understanding organismal aging which may involve the gradual accumulation of harmful molecular changes that contribute to age-related decline and disease We are particularly interested in a newly recognized class of non-coding endogenous RNAs called circular RNAs (circRNAs) which are primarily produced through back-splicing events from known protein-coding genes Our recent research has shown that circRNAs accumulate progressively and in large quantities during aging the functions of these age-accumulated circRNAs as well as those of most of the thousands of circRNAs discovered and behavioral analysis to explore the regulatory mechanisms and functions of circRNAs in aging as well as their potential role in age-related diseases our lab is broadly focused on understanding how environmental and internal signals influence behavior and gene expression We have published several studies on the dynamic changes in olfactory gene expression in response to the feeding state of the free-living nematode C These findings may provide valuable insights into how parasitic nematodes and disease-carrying insects navigate their hosts based on their nutritional status Please find a complete list of published work on My Bibliography LINDEN – The City Council is scheduled to introduce two revised housing and land ordinances following pushback from the local Orthodox Jewish community at noon on Good Friday at Linden High School will be the reconvening of Tuesday's regular meeting which was adjourned when an overcapacity crowd turned out over allegations that two previously introduced ordinances discriminated against Orthodox Jews One ordinance prohibited the use of basements for any purpose and the other required all homes to have garages and a single which would complicate the construction of homes for large families with multiple bedrooms According to the Yeshiva World News report a recent influx of Hasidic families moving to Linden has prompted the city to adopt new zoning ordinances impacting them including a measure that increased the minimum lot size to 90,000 square feet to build a house a worship when no lots of that size are available to build on in the city "These policy changes are compounded by troubling remarks made by the mayor ... and a noticeable rise in antisemitic sentiment," said Rabbi Yossi Katz of Congregation Anshe Chesed of Linden "Alarming incidents have included residents receiving hate mail stating "Hitler was right," as well as an uptick in antisemitic rhetoric on local Facebook groups Linden Mayor Derek Armstead was cited in a civil lawsuit last year brought by a former school district administrator as allegedly saying he only wanted African Americans and Haitians to be hired by the Linden Board of Education "to keep our community from being taken over by guys with big hats and curls." Armstead issued an apology for making disparaging comments about Hasidic Jews City Attorney Daniel Antonelli said Tuesday the two controversial ordinances were being removed from the agenda and would not be coming up for a vote details of which weren’t immediately available Antonelli said he was among those who received emails about the objections to the original ordinances and a meeting was held to discuss how to address the Hasidic community's concerns while addressing the city's concerns about development He said he hopes the Hasidic community will be more satisfied with the changes being made We have made those changes," Antonelli said "I'm hoping the changes proposed will satisfy your concerns."

26.2-mile race of her professional career a 41-year-old who won the 2018 Boston Marathon and I felt like I moved all the chips in and just went for broke out there and was really happy with the result,” she said on the broadcast Linden made her marathon debut in Boston in 2007 and ran her first of five Olympic Trials marathons in Boston in 2008 she became the first American female runner to win the world’s oldest annual marathon since 1985 “I made my debut at 26.2 on your roads in 2007 and fell in love -- with the distance and with the Boston Marathon,” was posted on Linden’s social media two hours before she started Monday’s race carried me as I turned right on Hereford and left on Boylston and brought me within two heartbreaking seconds of victory and that’s what I’m doing -- because getting to race my final professional marathon in Boston is indeed going out on top I’m ready to leave it all out on the course one last time “Thanks for all the years and all the cheers

Area Public Schools and 28 years in education Superintendent Heidie Ciesielski will retire from her role at the end of June  Ciesielski was hired into the position about three years ago  “I knew when I took the position that I was going to not do it for a long time I told the board that I would do it for three to four years But they knew that I was at the tail end of my career and that…this would be my last position in public (education),” Ciesielski said “When you start to lose the patience for the same problems that come around all the time and you start to lose patience for the regurgitation of the problems… That’s when you know it’s time for somebody else to kind of step in the role.”  Ciesielski has worked in multiple levels of education including being a high school English teacher for about seven years the assistant principal of Owosso High School for six years the Fenton AGS Middle School principal for six years and then as the executive director of teaching and learning for the Fenton school district for about four and half years  Ciesielski said the office of the superintendent is “such a meaningful role and it is such a very hard role to fill.” She spent more time with her family around spring break and knew it was time to retire from the position “It just really kind of resonated with me that it was time,” she said  Ciesielski’s last day with the district will be June 30 She will then work for the Michigan Association of Secondary School Principals as the associate director of certification and accreditation  “I don’t have 380 employees or a $41 million dollar budget…so it’s just a lot less stress,” she said “My family has sacrificed a lot for both of my husband and I to be able to do this I’m very excited about the adventure and then how that plays out at home is the superintendent of Linden Community Schools (Ciesielski said there are times that she and her husband handle things differently and that he provides helpful expertise but “he’ll never really tell me what to do But he’ll always give me options on what to do.” They also make an effort to not talk about work while at home.)  The Fenton Board of Education has not yet voted on who will replace Ciesielski in the role as superintendent She said the board is currently exploring its options Just seeing what happens to them in 12 years is pretty cool and just being able to influence their lives and future for a long time to come I’ve said for years the best thing about Fenton is the people They’re just great people around here who genuinely care about kids and you work really hard to make sure the people around you are better than when you took the position We’ve been able to accomplish a lot in the last three years,” She said the largest bond this district has ever had so it’s time for somebody else to kind of set that on course.”  Ciesielski said she’s proud to create the “We are Fenton family” atmosphere at the district She said they celebrate employee’s careers and milestones more which has helped them with retention  Declining enrollment is still a problem school districts face nationwide Ciesielski said many people don’t understand the influence that federal politics have at the local level  “Because it’s such a ping-pong situation right now with the federal politics and sometimes state politics back and forth we are a victim to any one of their choosing So depending on what they choose… or how they legislate is the direction we go I feel like the last probably four or five years it has just been back and forth,” she said  The lack of resources is also an ongoing problem in education as is the decline in people entering education as a career happening this year and it’s harder to find enough people to fill these positions When she first began working in Fenton and would post a teaching position  Ciesielski said she’ll miss working with Russ at Linden Community Schools and Julie Williams the outgoing superintendent of Lake Fenton Community Schools  Ciesielski said she’s looking forward to new adventures and not having to be on the clock 24/7 She’s also looking forward to being more present for her kids her 21-year-old son and her 16-year-old daughter  “I’m also looking forward to seeing where the district goes Even though I think I have a large perspective on what is great and what is so awesome about this place I’m eager to see what else somebody else says is awesome,” she said “My perspective could change and the district could go in a different direction  Her words of wisdom for the next person to take over as superintendent are “Take care of the people I think the best advice as a superintendent is— the people that do the work on a daily basis in front of students the student facing people— take care of them This has been the best way to finish a career in public ed,” she said “I’ve been able to influence a lot and impact a lot including the one that I will do in retirement Email

new activity feed Correspondent Andy Cochrane was granted special behind-the-scenes access to shadow the 2018 champion in Boston for her last dance from Hopkinton to Boylston A few months ago, my friend Des Linden asked me if I could keep a secret “Boston is going to be my last race as a pro,” she shared. Linden would be announcing her retirement from road racing on her own terms: by taking out a full-page ad in the Boston Globe the morning of the race And she granted me unprecedented access to chronicle that final show Linden has raced from Hopkinton to Copley Square on Marathon Monday almost every year since—12 times all told—including a bittersweet second-place finish in 2011 an iconic win in 2018 that made her the first American female champion since 1985 although Linden isn’t a huge fan of the word “Maybe I should have swung bigger and been OK with failing right?” Linden told me a few weeks before the race “I wonder if I left really good days on the table by being conservative you have to risk something—but that’s hard.” there’s an added weight to those who have previously worn the Grecian winner’s wreath—especially when it’s a former Boston champion’s curtain call Through the camera lens I aimed to capture a rare behind-the-scenes look at her final marathon from press conferences to signing autographs to shakeout runs sharing a lesser-seen perspective of the champ at her final goodbye to pro marathoning I met up with Linden backstage at Boston’s public radio station WBUR before Linden and her Nobody Asked Us co-host Kara Goucher hosted a live podcast in front of 300 guests the vibes were lighthearted and easy-going The next morning Linden got up early to do an 8-mile easy run along the Charles River Esplanade although I quickly realized that her easy pace was not so easy for me although a few runners recognized her and shouted words of encouragement as we passed by An hour later we were at the Brooks Hyperion House meeting with other Brooks pros Jess McClain and Aliphine Tuliamuk to lead a shakeout run with some fans signed autographs and took selfies before heading back to her hotel for lunch In the afternoon we returned to the Hyperion House for a panel event hosted by Emily Abbate with a desire to avoid extra attention in the build up to the marathon On Sunday morning we returned to the Charles bike path for a final easy run keeping the banter light and away from the subject of her final race many of which screamed “Des!” as she flew by Linden laid out her race kit and filled her race bottles making sure they were labeled correctly for the aid stations along the course Ryan took the gear downstairs to drop off the bottles with race officials and to make sure the kit was compliant with race rules before tying her shoes and packing her drop bag to wait in the staging area before walking out of the hotel to the athlete bus to the cheers of the hotel staff who would go on to finish as the top American in the marathon in a massive personal best of 2:22:43 for seventh place The emotions started to show a little on the start line as the announcer recognized past winners and shared with the crowd that this would be Linden’s final marathon with the stacked elite field setting a fast pace in the early miles Linden covered the first move but lost touch of the leaders a few miles later finding a few other pros to work with in the middle miles Linden was taking a risk and leaving it all out on the course After a right on Hereford and a left onto Boylston Linden entered the last few blocks of her final Boston Marathon Positioned on the photo bridge above the finish I watched as the crowds on both sides started to cheer After finishing in 2:26:19—her fastest time since 2017 and first place for masters women—Linden was greeted with a hug from Ryan That was everything I could have asked for.” Seconds later sharing hugs

That sure seemed to be the case when my wife and I stopped into Linden + Front Both the bifurcated restaurant’s dining rooms were thrumming: the front room where Elsa and I nabbed a table beneath one of the big boisterous botanical prints that characterize the whole place’s décor Khristine Leeman, who opened Linden + Front last February with her husband, executive chef Zac Leeman, suspects that even during peak tourist season, the crowd splits 60/40 for locals. It’s a different scene than at Sundrenched the seasonal seafood shack the Leemans have run since 2022 on Zac’s native Bailey Island — and so is Linden’s menu of updated comfort food Clockwise from top left: apricot-glazed pork porterhouse with delicata squash; a crab-cake starter with saffron aioli and bouillabaisse; house-made ice cream; a botanical triptych dominates the barroom; the fruity-floral Pom Is Your Color cocktail The mod little bistro fills a niche for diners in the City of Ships where downtown turnover has sometimes stymied folks looking for a non-pubby night out was once the spot for date night or a special-but-not-too-special occasion the vibey Portuguese joint that replaced it Its owners had renovated a rambling former antique shop into a lively and colorful eatery briefly reimagined as a bakery and carry-out cantina but shuttered by spring of 2022 Linden + Front has recaptured much of Salt Pine’s polished playfulness And it nails another crucial element of a great neighborhood restaurant: a peppy and welcoming bar Linden’s is beneath the same rainbow of jewel-like lanterns that once hung at Salt Pine Khristine’s cocktail menu is as splashy as the lighting Hits on our visit included the Pom Is Your Color which swaps out the traditional Campari for bergamot liqueur giving the drink a citrus bite and Sprite-like clarity is “a little like playing mad scientist.” The draft list who grew up loitering in her dad’s wine shop says she privileges drinkability over complexity A diner can easily make a meal off the small-plates side of the menu which landed a bit better at our table than the entrées The yummy “five-layer dip” was like meze turned into a football snack — a ganoush-esque eggplant spread (confusingly billed as “eggplant caviar”) with fried artichokes and whipped goat cheese (and a crusty wheat bread to spread it on) their outsides crispy despite being half submerged in a fragrant bouillabaisse who ran kitchens in Minnesota’s Twin Cities calls the dish “a cross between a traditional crab cake The entrées skew more traditional: roasted chicken A roasted butternut squash accompanying the pork porterhouse was on the dry side one of several cuts on the menu from Kennebec Meat Company For dessert: A raspberry panna cotta that was tasty but surprisingly dense — dairy-free banana-pudding–flavored and so very creamy including the rotating flavors of house-churned scoops we surveyed our fellow diners: starry-eyed couples a cackling crew of older ladies perhaps a couple of negronis deep “We’ve filled our bar with fishermen and had suits in the dining room,” Zac told me later A sure sign of a neighborhood restaurant clicking Log in to your Television Academy account: If you're seeking ways to connect with working television industry professionals joining our organization offers you unparalleled access Learn more about Television Academy Membership click below to start the application process Barney Miller was set in a precinct squad room with Hal Linden (center) as its wry captain Co-creator Danny Arnold decided to end the show during its seventh season the star of the ABC detective sitcom revisits behind-the-scenes controversy and the advice co-creator Danny Arnold gave the actor about his character Set in a cluttered police precinct squad room — scenes were rarely shot elsewhere — Barney Miller was unusual a cop sitcom known for realistic detective work a dearth of car chases or shoot-outs and an occasional focus on appalling cases like spousal rape This year marks the 50th anniversary of the premiere of the ABC series Danny Arnold (That Girl, Bewitched) and Theodore Flicker (Night Gallery, Mod Squad) created the show and Arnold ran the New York–set series with perfectionism and a talent for quirky casting Choosing Hal Linden to play Captain Barney Miller wasn’t quirky Arnold had seen him on Broadway starring in The Rothschilds as prosperous patriarch Mayer Rothschild The houses were packed and Linden’s reviews sublime Today, Linden and Max Gail (Detective Stan "Wojo" Wojciehowicz) are the only surviving members of Barney Miller’s original Emmy contributor Jane Wollman Rusoff recently spoke with Linden about his adventures portraying the fair-minded captain for eight seasons My character was very loose. He never told anybody how to do an assignment. Barney was a little too perfect for my taste, but you had to [portray] a legitimate police officer and deal with the problems. That was the difference between, say, Car 54, Where Are You? and us "I want to infuse the character of Barney Miller with a sense of Talmudic justice — to look at every perp or complainant as “There but for the grace of who-knows-what goes all of us." Then came our fifth episode ["Courtesans"] so we had hookers at every desk making statements He asks the girl he's stuck on for a date "Can you lend me 50 bucks 'til payday?" "You can't say that." Danny said "I'm shooting the show the way it's written I'm not going to make any more." The network put it on — with an "X" rating Danny worked on a script until the minute we were in front of the camera which went on even after the audience left I think the longest session we had was till 6:30 in the morning Ron Glass [Detective Ron Harris] was probably the most trained of all of us James Gregory [Inspector Frank Luger] came to work prepared to the letter Danny created Detective Phil Fish, with that hangdog look, played by Abe Vigoda. The network insisted on spinning him off, so he left [to topline the series Fish] Jack Soo [Detective Sergeant Nick Yemana] used humor to deal with anything that was painful he was billed as "The Asian Bing Crosby." Jack died while we were in production giving speeches we’d written about how we felt about him Gregory Sierra [Detective Sergeant Chano Amenguale] was a bigger name than I when we started He was waiting for his own show in a deal he'd made George Murdock [Lieutenant Ben Scanlon] was actually a happy-go-lucky guy He kept trying to catch us doing bad things Steve Landesberg [Detective Sergeant Arthur Dietrich] originally played a phony priest who sold bibles on the street that he’d steal from hotels Danny liked him so much he brought him back as Dietrich to replace Fish Ron Carey [Officer Carl Levitt] first played a mole who dug his way into banks to rob them He played the whole show coughing dirt at people Then Danny gave him the part of the officer from downstairs who always wanted to be a detective ["Hash"] was probably the quintessential episode and Jack sang "What a Day This Has Been." Ron giggled Abe jumped across an alley from one building to another to catch a perp Every year we lost writers because they left to do their own shows Danny sent an open-submission [call] to every college English major potential writer "All they’re doing is repeating what we just did There’s no reason to do this show unless we can do it well."
