...attacked couples coming from strobe-lighted discotheques, even opened fire at a pair of girls on a house porch and shot another as he passed her on a street. Twice he taunted police with notes (one left at the scene of a double murder, one sent to Columnist Jimmy Breslin). He has phoned precinct headquarters to say which neighborhood he planned to hit next. But he was neither caught nor cowed, and an aroused modern police force looked no more effective in preventing this type of crude terror than Scotland Yard in dealing with Jack the Ripper's preannounced...
With that grotesque greeting, hand-printed in compulsively neat capital letters, a man who has killed five people in eleven months began a rambling and ghoulish letter to New York Daily News Columnist Jimmy Breslin.

Tim Reuben...
...Norman Mailer into reportage and published some of the first so-called New Jourrialists, most notably Tom Wolfe. On the old New York Herald Tribune, where he edited the Sunday magazine that was to be reincarnated as New York, he gave free rein to such emerging stars as Jimmy Breslin, Dick Schaap, George ("Adam Smith") Goodman. Many of the best and the brightest have left in rage and frustration-or on the wave of New York-borne success. Felker, says Ms. editor and Felker protégée Gloria Steinem, is "the lightning rod of animosity-and of creativity...
