The house that I was referring to is the one from the April, 1978 debacle, where cops stormed the MOVE house, then at 608 N. 33rd Street, in Powellton Village(which was for many years the center of the Philly radical counterculture)--a police officer and two MOVE members were killed (I believe that there was a strong feeling in some quarters that all three were killed by police fire). Enraged by the policeman's death, Rizzo ordered that the house be burned, then bulldozed the site--This event got national TV coverage, and helped seal Frank's reputation--

One would have thought that, what with the Rizzo and the police department's history of of extreme actions against John Africa and MOVE(and Rizzo's often quoted bombasts of longhairs and leftists), the Philly police department and prosecutors offices would use any excuse to crack down on Einhorn, who was the acknowledged leader of the Philly counterculture. As has been mentioned above, the didn't raise a finger when Maddox disappeared, and, when they finally had to investigate neighbors complaints that included cadaverous smells and fluids dripping from the ceiling in the apartment below, they not only provided him with the best attorney available, they practically opened the door and looked the other way while he left the country.

There has been a lot in the papers and on the TV tabloid programs about the financial support and the other assistance that Einhorn has obviously received over the years, the implication always being that he was being helped by wealthy but politically naive indivuduals who still bought in to his radical chic act--Though it hasn't been covered much nationally, some people have said that they believed Einhorn had regularly supplied the police, FBI, and other authorities with information on his counterculture compatriots--quite possibly including his neighbor, John Africa--
