Bronx Bits ...

Borough President Adolfo Carrion makes his third trip to Israel.

Larry Davis, one of the Bronx's most famous and controversial outlaws, died at the hands of fellow inmates in the yard of an upstate prison where he's been incarcerated since the late 1980s. If you weren't around back then, this Times story paints a picture of a very different time in the Big Apple.

Councilwoman Helen Foster, who may be running for borough president, says the last two borough presidents (Carrion and Ferrer) "were not and are not sympathetic to the black community."
