Sidney Davidoff

Sidney Davidoff

Sidney "Sid" Davidoff (born July 18 1939) is an American lawyer who was one of 20 people on Nixon's Enemies List.

Life and career

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Davidoff graduated with a bachelor's degree from City College of New York in 1960 and earned his J.D. from New York University in 1963. He was admitted to the New York Bar that year.

Davidoff was administrative assistant to New York Mayor John V. Lindsay for seven years. Hendrik Hertzberg called him "the Mayor's burly troubleshooter". Hertzberg, Hendrik (September 26, 1970). Bike to Work. "The New Yorker"]

In 1968, when students took over Hamilton Hall at Columbia University holding the active dean captive there, Lindsay sent Davidoff as one of the mediators to broker the dean's release.Harris, Marvin (June 10, 1968). [http://www.publicanthropology.org/TimesPast/Harris.htm Big Bust on Morningside Heights.] "The Nation"] He likely caught the attention of Nixon staffers following a street fracas between Hard Hats and anti-war demonstrators, where Davidoff re-lowered the American flag to half-mast in honor of the 4 demonstrators killed at the Kent State shootings after Hard Hats had raised it in defiance.Cook, Fred J. (June 15, 1970). Hard-Hats: The Rampaging Patriots. "The Nation"]

On Nixon's list, Davidoff was described thus: "Lindsay's top personal aide: a first class S.O.B., wheeler-dealer and suspected bagman. Positive results would really shake the Lindsay camp and Lindsay's plans to capture youth vote. Davidoff in charge." He has also had some questionable ties to Mafia related persons and entities

Davidoff was a Chubb Fellow at Yale University, as well as a lecturer to the special Root-Tilden students at New York University School of Law. Davidoff is currently a senior partner in the firm Davidoff Malito & Hutcher LLP, which he founded in 1975. He is a member of the Metropolitan New York Board of Governors for the United States Olympic Committee.
