...finding that one of five American adults is troubled at any given time coincides roughly with the conclusions of earlier studies. The Midtown Manhattan study, done in the 1950s, reported that 23% of the population had severe disorders, and up to 80% had some mild level of impairment. The Stirling County study, completed in Nova Scotia in 1952, said that 57% of those interviewed had a disorder during a lifetime and 20% were in need of psychiatric attention at the time of the survey. "The most important thing is not what the overall rate is," says Dr. Darrel Regier, director...
They all work within a few minutes' walk from one another, either on Wall Street or in midtown Manhattan. They operate with the secrecy of KGB agents and the cold nerves of hired gunslingers. In a matter of hours they can build up a corporate empire or cause a company to vanish. Their services command huge fees, yet they are among the least known men in American business...

After spending weeks trying to find city hall by subway, committing Pulitzer-worthy sex with an undercover policeman and discovering the delights of midtown restaurants, she stumbles upon the Big Story: how a presidential candidate tried to have his homosexual lover bumped...
...four Brits landed in the U.S. and tumbled helter-skelter into a Manhattan hotel suite, high above police barricades where hundreds of girls were squealing their way into Beatlemania. Pubescent girls, New York City saw last week, are still crazy after all these years: on streets around a midtown hotel, dozens of cops oversaw hundreds of squealing, hysterical teens who were simply dying for a glimpse of the dreamboat singers upstairs. The 80,000 tickets for the group's four concerts last weekend at Madison Square Garden were sold out three days after they went on sale...
