About 2:30 one morning, four black men, heavily armed, robbed a black after hours bar called the Red Carpet Lounge on Manhattan's upper West Side. They ordered about 25 customers to lie on the floor, assaulted some of them, took their wallets and laid down a barrage of fire as they left. As the robbers were scattering outside, they were pursued by six carloads of police who had been alerted by the bar's lookout men.

The grand foyer, with its six-story mirrors, marble, chandeliers and inevitable red carpet, strives to be timeless but achieves only the crushing placelessness of an international air terminal. At the same time, Stone's attempted monumentality is often undone-even on its own terms-by a sense of kitsch. Thus (to take only one example) the walls of the opera house...
