ABE TORRES

Seen here with his real bright assistant Paul Rosovsky. My favorite jest about Abie, the Weekly’s production cornerstone, was that he was the hardest working Puerto Rican in the world. No one – and I mean no one, including Syd – put more time in on the job. He sometimes worked seven days a week and from dawn to late at night. And he very rarely made an error. Maybe never. He loved the gals and I knew immediately when he was interested. He would twirl his fierce mustachios. – Mort
