...written mostly about rock music. He made the trip from Grub Street toward Easy Street by way of Hollywood: the film version of his 1976 New York magazine story about Brooklyn disco culture was a box office smash. Cohn's subsequent New York cover was "24 Hours on 42nd Street," a lurid first-person account of a day and night spent swallowing street drugs amid the sexual sleaze of Times Square...
SEEKING DIVORCE. David Merrick, 71, hit-making Broadway producer, from Karen Prunczik, 26, former tap dancer in his blockbuster 42nd Street and his fourth wife; after nine months of marriage; in New York City. Merrick also filed a petition revealing what had been strenuously denied: that he suffered a stroke 2½ months ago and has not yet recovered his power of speech; he is seeking a conservator to protect his interests...
...Only simply needs a redirection of its energies. Shows like 42nd Street and Sophisticated Ladies prove that musicals can succeed with only a slight plot or none at all. In fact, Tune's own Tony award winning Nine succeeds not because of an extemely engrossing story (its ending appears too manufactured), but because it seldom bores its audience.

They bow to rock 'n' roll for their subject matter (Dreamgirls) or their urgent tempo (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat). They find their heroines in comic strips (Annie) or in history that reads like cheap fiction (Evita). The message sounds clear...
...accustomed accolades and happy omens greeted the birth of an heir at 9:03 p.m., June 21. Yet, the arrival of the Princeling, who is in line to be the 42nd monarch since the Norman conquest, also had some marked differences. He was not born in the dim fastnesses of a palace, screened by courtiers, but in a $218-a-day, 12-ft. by 12-ft. white room, with one rather shabby armchair, at London's St. Mary's Hospital. Both parents had taken lessons in natural childbirth, and his father was in the room all through...
