My worst #NewYearsEve was spent as a young news field producer in 1983 when #FALN, a Puerto Rican terrorist group was reportedly responsible for a series of bombings on New Year's Eve that rocked four government buildings in #NYC and seriously injured three police officers.

These blasts also struck #NYPD Police Headquarters, two Federal buildings, and the Brooklyn Courthouse during a 90-minute reign of terror.

The pen is mightier than the sword was initially written by English author Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1839, indicating that communication utilizing particularly the written language, or in some interpretations, administrative power or advocacy of an independent press, is a more effective tool than direct violence could ever wish to accomplish.

Talk about a real blast from the past... Years ago, as a young college student in Miami, I had the good fortune of being accepted to a work-study internship program at WPLG-TV 10.  I watched one of the great electronic journalists perform nightly news media magic.

Doctor Ken, the news doctor became a mentor, and years later, I was lucky to have LinkedIn through social media and speak with him- I said Doctor what’s ailing TV?

I have never watched a popular TV news anchorman go from looking suave and debonaire to the likes of Dr. Brown, the crackpot character in "Back To The Future."

So what was the first public act on Bill Ritter’s bucket list now that New York City has entered Phase 2 of the lockdown? A Boogie Down Haircut in The Bronx!

What about the final bill?WABC TV 7 Anchorman Bill Ritter finally got a haircut and says it was for a very good cause.
