 New York Press - STANLEY HOLDITCH - Will a new Age of Reason ever dawn?
AS THE title of Francis Wheen's latest collection of essays implies, the purpose of the book is to debunk various modern beliefs, schools of thought, social cults, myths and specious social and economic theory, from the "voodoo economics" of Thatcher and Reagan to the Diana cults of the 90s.
After having practically every social and political trend, theory and belief spanked on its ass and sent crying home to mama, the reader is left hungry for something, anything, in which to believe.
In "Voodoo Revisited," the final chapter, Wheen instead breaks in on new topics and comes back to arguments made in the first chapter concerning economics.

 Vintage New York - Press Release May 2003
Created in 1998 to honor New York City's celebration of the 100th anniversary of the joining of her five boroughs into a single city, the exhibition contains over one hundred images of the city's landmarks, streets and people of the past 100 years.
A large part of Vintage New York consists of work by Leon Dolice (1892-1960), an artist who devoted his career to chronicling the architecture, back streets, dock scenes and other nostalgia that was disappearing from New York in the 20th Century.
As New Yorkers today still mourn the savage obliteration of one of the youngest of its landmarks, itself less than a half-century old, the work he did in his own lifetime seems even more appropriate today, than it did at the time of creation of this exhibition.

New York Press editors resigned en masse today in a dispute with top management over reproducing the riot-linked Danish Mohmammed cartoons.
We have no illusions about the power of the press (NY Press, we mean), but even on the far margins of the world-historical stage, we are not willing to side with the enemies of the values we hold dear, a free press not least among them.
The press should be taking a stand against the violent reaction and not condoning it or fearing it (what good is the press if it is not free whether we or I agree with what is being said or reported?) What a pity...we have come so far but are still so far behind.

 Alternative Reality, New York Press, July 10, 2006
From press coverage, we know that at least three New Yorkers were killed in bike crashes in June and one in January.
Over the past decade in New York City, bike crashes, injuries and fatalities have steadily declined from around 6,000 a year in the mid-1990s to near 3,000 a year in 2004 and 2005.
Budnick: All three deaths were caused by dangerous conditions that are commonplace on New York City streets but should not be: drivers and passengers opening car doors into the path of cyclists; drivers failing to yield to cyclists and hazardous street conditions that can send bikes out of control.

Walker Evans: New York concludes with the Third Avenue images, also taken in the 1960s after the removal of the elevated rail, that document the transition from the traditional to the modern and the decrepit to the new.

 Waco: The Rules of Engagement - New York Press
But what Waco does, in striking contrast to the news reports of 1993 that uniformly demonized him as, in the words of one newspaper headline, the "Sinful Messiah," is to give us Koresh in context.
(University of California Press), one key to the event’s tragedy was that the authorities refused to understand the group in terms of its religious beliefs.
The ‘System’ had decided to keep the Waco events a secret, I decided, and its press naturally cooperated; it was dedicated to paychecks and ratings and promotions and good restaurants, not to any truth or any justice.

 Degenerate Art - New York Press
Several weeks ago, Heiner Müller--who, at his death in 1995, was widely recognized as one of the most important playwrights of the century and Bertolt Brecht's most inspired spiritual heir--was convicted of plagiarism in a Munich court.
One reason the East German Müller was never as well known in the United States as he was in most of the rest of the world was the nature of the challenge his work posed to received ideas of originality and intellectual property.
Almost all his works were conceived as vampiric "occupations" of other works (or parts of them)--his characteristic technique being the placement of quotations (attributed and not) in new contexts that reveal the troubling assumptions about history behind the original texts.

 Critical Impasse, New York Press, January 5-11, 2005
Attorney Norman Siegel's legal team is shedding public light on the irrationality of New York City's dysfunctional, car-oriented transportation policies and the NYPD's role in enforcing them.
In its argument, TA noted that there are 6375 miles of street in New York City and 3400 bike racks.
A large Critical Mass ride creates, at most, an additional 750 vehicle-hours of delay, an amount that is "statistically invisible against the backdrop of ordinary traffic delays in Manhattan and New York City." The arguments Komanoff assembled for this case lay the theoretical groundwork for a major revamping of New York City transportation policy.

The New York Dolls had the style, attitude, rawness and audacity to reinterpret the notion of punk as it had existed in the '60s (i.e., with no political sensibilities but a debt to RandB) to create a decidedly '70s over-the-edge new reality prior to punk.
Although they made only two proper albums and were a meaningless relic by the time the Sex Pistols played their first gig, the Dolls singlehandedly began the local New York scene that later spawned the Ramones, Blondie, Television, Talking Heads and others.
After building their reputation on seedy late-night New York stages, the Dolls' awful magnetism netted them a label contract.

 New York Press
As George Sosson, Clear Channel's senior vice president, boasted to The New York Observer, before Congress loosened ownership regulations station owners were nervous that impatient listeners would punch the dial and head to "the other guy" whenever lots of commercial clutter came today.
One of the few new formats to emerge in the last four years has been children's radio, and that's only because ABC/Walt Disney is aggressively pushing its own network, allowing remote broadcasters to sign up for Disney's satellite feed, flip a switch, fire the staff and become an automated outlet.
With the Howard Stern and Imus morning shows beamed from New York, the afternoon jock piped in from a sister station 80 miles away and overnight syndicated shows replacing the night jock, radio is no longer local, and it's certainly not focused on community service.
