...Times Square: It's been cleaned up and Disney-fied, but even Giuliani couldn't expunge every last bit of sex from this stretch of neon and noise. Wander off the beaten path to find an endless array of peep shows, provided by the city's finest out-of-work Broadway dancers. Such a deal! Best of all, no standing in that bargain ticket line with the rest of the tourists...

...much of a stretch to see all these investigations and authority figures as a kind of shadow 9/11 drama. (Who is stern-talking Oprah protege Dr. Phil, after all, but a more down-home John Ashcroft?) Hollywood's crime stories were neither uniformly authoritarian nor bleeding heart.
