New York News New York's extremely rapid commercial growth may be partly attributed to Governor De Witt Clinton, who pushed through the construction of the Erie Canal (Buffalo to Albany), which was opened in 1825. New York now became a royal colony, and the new king, who at heart despised popular government, refused to sign the Charter of Liberties, abolished the New York assembly, and sent Andros to govern the colony as consolidated with New England and New Jersey. News of the accession of William and Mary and of the imprisonment of Andros at Boston created a great excitement in New York; and the militia, led by Jacob Leisler, a German merchant, took possession of the government. www.geocities.com /airspirit333/NewYork.html   (2994 words)

FOXNews.com - New York Observer Sold to Student NEW YORK — The 25-year-old son of a disgraced real estate mogul has bought The New York Observer, a weekly newspaper with a small but dedicated readership. He hired a prostitute to seduce his brother-in-law, made a videotape of the encounter and then sent it to his sister, the man's wife, in retaliation for her cooperation with federal authorities who were looking into his business activities. He withdrew as McGreevey's nominee to head the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in 2003 after he was accused in lawsuits of using business funds for political and personal reasons. www.foxnews.com /printer_friendly_wires/2006Jul31/0,4675,NewYorkObserver,00.html   (345 words)

The New York Observer News Corp., of course, has long contended that the old rules on media ownership are outmoded in today’s media universe, with its proliferation of news options on television, radio and the Internet. And while some saw News Corp.’s deal as a blow against competition and the quality of local TV news, others argued that such concerns were overblown. This means the number of men in New York City who don’t have their own Comedy Central series is down to five. www.sree.net /quotes/observerfcc.html   (1958 words)

THE NEW YORK OBSERVER And to news staffers and viewers numbed by Chandra and O.J. and Princess Diana, it was a grave reminder of the broader obligations of network news outfits. Fox News jefe Roger Ailes, in fact, was seen as a prescient genius for assembling a scrappy, sharp-edged (and relatively inexpensive) lineup of reporters and pundits that could deliver ratings even during the flattest news cycles. As a whole, network news viewership has declined precipitously over the past decade; faced with smaller audiences and shrinking revenues, network news divisions have increasingly turned to titillating or flat, service-oriented stories to cling to their remaining viewers. www.sree.net /quotes/nyosept11.html   (2210 words)

Gehry in Brooklyn (Atlantic Yards) - Page 43 - Wired New York Forum   (Site not responding. Last check: ) But the new New York that is taking shape—with its ambitious towers, its cities within a city like the far West Side, Ground Zero and the Atlantic Yards—belongs to these two. But the projects taken on by the two architects also reflect the changing cultural landscape of New York, where relatively new museums and theaters have benefited from the rezoning for cultural districts that have drawn renowned architects—and many New Yorkers—away from Manhattan and into the boroughs. Perhaps the best illustration of the different interests, ambitions and temperaments of the two architects is their convergence in the 2000 competition to build the New York Times Building, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2007. www.wirednewyork.com /forum/showthread.php?p=57948   (6620 words)

The Politicker | The New York Observer This is great news for Giuliani, who hasn't exactly had a good past few weeks, because it is absolutely critical for his chances that Romney trip up in one or more of the earliest primary and caucus states. A new national poll has Clinton’s lead down by 10 points; Rudy Giuliani’s lead has widened, and Mike Huckabee is now in third. It also calls New York “America’s most liberal city,” which, coming from him, is not intended as a compliment. www.newyorkobserver.com   (1202 words)

New York Observer - January 21, 2004 In her book, and later in a series of articles for the New York Observer, Sheehy continues to tell the story of four widowed moms from New Jersey who turned their sorrow into action and became formidable witnesses to the failures of the country’s leaders to connect the dots before September 11.

Unlike any newspaper (the New York Times, the Village Voice) or magazine (New York, Time Out NY) the Observer is always on the inside track when it comes to politics, business, theater, fashion, culture, publishing, the arts, real estate and society. www.amazon.com /The-New-York-Observer/dp/B00005NIP2   (672 words)

Info/Law » The New York Observer and the Web I have been obsessing a little over the recent sale of the New York Observer to Jared Kushner, the 25-year-old real estate scion who is also a rising 3L at my alma mater, NYU Law. For one, I have subscribed to and enjoyed the Observer for more than a decade, during most of which I was a displaced and sometimes homesick New Yorker. The Observer is a unique weekly newspaper, with a mission of muckraking and sometimes snarky coverage of New York’s power elite — politics, media, high-flying nightlife, and of course real estate. blogs.law.harvard.edu /infolaw/2006/08/02/the-new-york-observer-and-the-web   (1128 words)

Guiliani Profile Prepared for New York Observer This report presents the results of an indirect assessment of the political personality of New York mayor Rudolph W. (Rudy) Giuliani, undeclared Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in the election of 2000, from the conceptual perspective of Theodore Millon. But, given the mayor's disproportionate emotional response to a seemingly innocuous stimulus, psychologically minded observers – particularly those with a psychoanalytic bent – would be inclined to scratch a little deeper. Answering the question of of whether Giuliani will implode or rise to the occasion by adapting to the demands of his political reality – the question of whether the leopard can change his spots – requires an examination of the self-perpetuating processes of the dominant. www.csbsju.edu /uspp/Giuliani/Giuliani-NYObserver.html   (2424 words)

The New York Observer Pataki, however, was not happy with provisions in the Bruno bill requiring lobbyists to disclose the identities of the government agencies they are lobbying—an obligation that’s been on the books for years in New York City. There is absolutely nothing illegal, then as now, in the practice of eating filet mignon or Norwegian salmon on a lobbyist’s tab, so long, of course, as you keep your meal to under $75, which is not hard to do in Albany. Silver’s diluted lobbying bill on Dec. 22, 1999, after many of them had had their names printed in The New York Times for accepting free gifts from Philip Morris, legislators were furious at the suggestion that they could be bought with a $50 meal. www.students4reform.com /Observer/frontpage2.html   (1497 words)

New York Observer: Reviewing The Redesigned 'Observer' - Gawker Today's article on the dump taken by Brandon Davis' brother is a case in point: Morgan handles a situation that easily lends itself to ribaldry with tact, wit, and grace. Or, to put it more accurately, the stories you expect to see in the Observer are the same stories you see in the other papers, but from the perspective of a wealthier, cattier, more status-obsessed organization. We're not in the habit of getting our cultural news from the Observer anyway, but we're going to guess this is not much different from what it was before the redesign. gawker.com /news/new-york-observer/reviewing-the-redesigned-observer-240345.php   (1198 words)
