Abraham Charles Corotis was well-known for many years as a
reporter, public relations man, and publisher in Camden and
South Jersey. After working as a reporter for over twenty
years he got into public relations work and in time acquired
the Argus, a weekly newspaper that had served Camden for
several decades. Unfortunately, he ran afoul of State Senator
Joseph Cowgill and in 1957 lost a libel suit and the Argus
ceased publication.
For
many years the author of a column called It's All In The
Game,
in 1955 Mr. Corotis published a book of the same name with a
collection of articles gleaned from his columns. He followed
this up in 1957 with a similar book titled A Thousand Eyes. In
1959 Mr. Corotis published a novel, B. Bull, Bastard which was
based on his confrontation with Senator Cowgill and the loss
of his business dur to undue political influence in the
judicial system.
Corotis
writes about many well-known people in Camden and New Jersey in
It's All In
The Game, including realtor Leon Todd, boxers Sergeant Ray
Smith and Jersey Joe Walcott, and journalist Dan McConnell
among others. His writing is entertaining and he provides
interesting insight into people, places, and things long gone
from 21st Century America.
Please
write with any questions and comments... and as always, HAVE
FUN!!
