...take on CNN and MSNBC in New York City, the nation's premier media market, plus access to 65 percent of the TIME Warner systems. In return, Fox will eventually allow TIME Warner to broadcast its channels across the Fox international satellite television network, giving the media conglomerate a slice of some overseas markets it currently doesn't reach. Giuliani, who expended considerable political capital as Fox's man in the trenches, is already getting heat for securing something of a sweetheart deal for his political bedfellow Murdoch.

A slice of pizza costs 50 cents; a 0.2-liter bottle of Coke is about 25 cents; hefty hero sandwiches are $1; ice cream--available in dozens of flavors in little carts on every street--is about 20 cents a scoop...
