...crowds. Past the Winter Garden where Cats plays on, past Dunkin' Donuts' 46 varieties, past the topless temptresses of movie marquees, past the T-Shirt Express, past the half-hour photo store, past the mendicant * saxophone player on the corner. Decked out, some in black leather jackets, others in pink high-tops and bobby-sox, a jaunty tweed cap here, a brightly colored scarf there, they jaywalk across 48th Street in twos and threes, dodging yellow taxis.

Other refinements include alarms that signal a fish's presence and multihued video screens that are designed to identify various species by a color code -- red for dolphin, for example, or pink for bottom feeders like grouper and snapper...
...editor of the gritty New York Post wears white linen skirts, a string of pearls and pink nail polish, and she comes from Philadelphia's genteel Main Line. Last week, after announcing the appointment of Magazine Veteran Jane Amsterdam to the top slot at one of the last bastions of no-holds-barred, spit-in-the-eye tabloid journalism, the Post's owner, Real Estate Magnate Peter Kalikow, presented her with a T shirt emblazoned with the paper's now legendary April 15, 1983, headline HEADLESS BODY IN TOPLESS BAR.
