"The great Atlantic City, the great Donnie Block"-- "The New York Times"
"A conflict that almost replicated the Tulsa incident ended in a way acceptable to all, thanks to the mediation of Donnie Block..."
This incident in Atlantic City quickly spread to cities beyond Atlantic City. As the newspaper with the largest circulation in the United States, The New York Times reported on the incident immediately.
In this report, The New York Times highly praised Donnie's performance in this conflict, depicting him as a noble, pure, and loving individual.
"...We believe that if it weren't for the intervention of Mr. Block, the incident in Atlantic City would certainly have become a second Tulsa incident."
