...Manhattan's Greenwich Village, some 150,000 spectators are expected to watch a superparade that boasts a dozen musical groups, snaking dancers, and floats devoted to ghosts, ghouls and warlocks. At 8 p.m., the height of the parade, a huge spider will wriggle up the Village clock tower.

To do that would imply that maleness had been intrinsic somehow to the job in times of yore. It did not describe Donaldson's height, build or what she was wearing on the day of the appointment--as most publications, and the Times in particular still tend to do with irritating consistency. It did not deem the event a big enough deal to spark interest in the admittedly masculine title "Lord Mayor." And the Sunday...
