Minna Agency errands mostly stuck in Brooklyn, rarely far from Court Street, in fact. Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill together made a crisscrossed game board of Frank Minna's alliances and enmities, and me and Gil Coney and the other Agency Men were the markers -- like Monopoly pieces, I sometimes thought, tin automobiles or terriers (not top hats, surely) -- to be moved around that game board. Here on the Upper East Side we were off our customary map, and in Candyland -- or maybe in the study with Colonel Mustard.
