The Art of Dry Cleaning:

Dry cleaning is the use of non-water based
(hence dry) liquids to remove soil and stains
from fabrics. All dry cleaners have access to
the same liquids but not all are as skillful in
their use. Like a icnaster artists' skill with his
paints, we at MY Cleaners are more skilled and
achieve masterful results in dry cleaning.

One of the many reasons why knowledgeable
customers say "MY Cleaners is my cleaners."

D

avid Duke, the former
leader of the Ku Klux
Klan who served in the
Louisiana state Legisla-
ture, has disappeared from the
scene. Yet nobody denies that
anti-Semitism and racism still
linger in this Southern city.
Especially Donald Mintz, the
front-runner in next week's non-
partisan mayoral primary.
"Anti-Semitism exists," said
Mr. Mintz, 50, a Democrat, who
spoke in Detroit recently on be-
half of his friend, Robert Naf-
taly, who was being honored by
the Anti-Defamation League.
"But it is not an issue in this
campaign."
As the top fund-raiser by a
long shot, the leader in the polls,
and the candidate whose name
is inundating prospective vot-

ers with television and radio
commercials, Mr. Mintz is inch-
ing closer each day to becoming
the city's first Jewish mayor.
At issue, he said in a tele-
phone interview from his home
in New Orleans, is revitalizing
a city that has accepted the sta-
tus quo. Like most large cities,
he says, New Orleans has been
mismanaged.
His message: No new taxes,
no lazy police officers, an im-
proved City Hall environment.
The city, he said, does not do a
good job collecting taxes already
owed.
In addition, there are police
officers who sit behind desks in-
stead of patrolling the streets,
he said. For the first time in city
history, Mr. Mintz will imple-
ment modern management

techniques in the mayor's office,
thus boosting morale and pro-
ductivity, he said.
"No one has ever questioned
my ability," said Mr. Mintz, an
attorney who has been involved
in national and Jewish and sec-
ular community organizations
in New Orleans. "The question
was always, 'Can he win?"
"I had two perceived disabil-
ities going into the race. One, I
am white; and two, I am Jew-
ish.
"Some will vote against me
because of this, but most will
not," he said. "If you put every-
thing into context, you see that
in the context of a city crisis,
race and religious issues are not
controlling factors. I have great
hope for coalition building in
New Orleans."
