Q:

What do you think of Mayor Koch’s comment that synagogues should be turned into shelters to house the homeless people who are out in the cold?

A:

The Mayor’s comment that synagogues should be turned into shelters to house cold people is a wonderful comment. But first let him open up City Hall.  Let him open up Gracie Mansion.  When we’ll see that Gracie Mansion is full of Bowery bums lying on the floors and on the couches and everywhere else, then we’ll consider listening to him about the synagogues.
