...heist likely to hurt the Chelsea's zany reputation? Hardly, say its most seasoned guests, who for years have known how to blink at outlandish goings-on at the Chelsea. "The incident just gives the place a little pep," observed Composer George Kleinsinger, a 17-year resident. "The Chelsea is still a very personal place, and I like it for that," says Playwright Miller, who lived there from 1965 to 1972. "It has big, quiet rooms.

This was the night before a football game, and the atmosphere was something like a cross between ancient fertility rites and classical Bacchanalia...
...mond-headed walking stick. A crowd of bikers, kept behind a chain-link fence, roared their approval, and moments later stomped on a U.P.I, reporter and ground out a cigarette butt on his forehead. Enraged by the surly Knievel's unavailability for interviews, reporters joked about "holding a pep rally for Snake Canyon," and one reporter, Larry McMullen of the Philadelphia Daily News, wrote: "Even though the canyon is the underdog, it is rapidly becoming a sentimental favorite...
