Using the records from the November 7, 2006 Election Day, the economists figured out how many properties housed a resident who voted that year.

Following its popular 2007 retrospective of self-taught 20th-century artist Martin Ramirez - who produced the bulk of his work while he was a mental patient at the DeWitt State Hospital in Auburn, Calif. - New York City's American Folk Art Museum is now showing 25 newly discovered Ramirez works. These drawings and collages, of horseback riders, trains, landscapes, Madonnas and animals, were done in Ramirez's last years, 1960-63, and collected by a doctor who provided the artist with art supplies. See Martin Ramirez: The Last Words through Apr. 12, 2009. 45 West 53rd Street...
