North By Northwest. Clever. One could say as much for any Hitchcock film. But this one has to be his most ingenious, the plot is devilish--and, although Hitchcock never really wrings the full terror out of it, terrifying. Cary Grant plays a Madison Avenue smoothie with a doting mother and a life of business luncheons who gets taken (figuratively, and literally) for a spy. "Nice play-acting, but it won't wash,' his abductor, a chillingly villainous James Mason tells Grant when he tries to clear up this misunderstanding. Grant breaks free, then does some romantic interluding with...
...divisions within the B.C.O.A., some operators predict that the industry will eventually adopt a two-tier approach to bargaining: one for issues on which all members agree, the other for issues on which they are split.

(The City also threw in Park, Madison, Lexington and some other unnumbered avenues just to make it difficult.) The East Side is anything to the right of Fifth Avenue if you're facing north--that means Third Avenue, Second, etc. In general, even avenues run uptown, odd avenues run downtown. A couple run both ways, and Broadway is just plain weird. It runs diagonlly across the City from the Northwest to the Southwest...
While you're there, you can visit the Madison Square Garden Center, which is right across the street (Seventh Avenue between 32nd and 33rd Streets). During the vacation, the Garden will be busy day and night with the antics of Ringling Brothers. Barnum and Bailey's Circus. The annual spring stop in New York of the world-famous three-ring extravaganza fills the arena with multiple shows every day. Ticket prices range from $9.50 to $40. Sports fans: the Knicks will be in town on March 28 and 30, while the Rangers will play hockey on the 27th and 29th...
