Paul A. Luscombe Author of Play the Game Right, Give Dad a Mulligan and Howard Powerless--The Rise & Fall of the Howard Savings Bank. "Play the Game Right" is the biography of Coach Butch van Breda Kolff from the arrival of "Wilt the Stilt" Chamberlain on Los Angeles Lakers to the Leopards finishing 19-10, winning the regular season East Coast Conference title, with a major upset of nationally ranked Notre Dame. "Give Dad a Mulligan" is a true story about how a husband and wife team playing in a mixed double tournament at Baltlusrol Golf Club argued over whether or not to award a Mulligan on the first hole. "Howard Powerless"--The Rise & Fall of the Howard Savings Bank, tells the story of the years leading up to the McCormick administration. The Howard was the envy of the other NJ banks as the ideal place to work. But this laid back manner plus some awkward attempts at transferring power may have set the bank up to be used by the abuse of power.
