...nearly a quarter-century, Nila Mack has been against new models in heroes. She doesn't care for spacemen (Buck Rogers), cowboys (the Lone Ranger) or clear-eyed adolescent adventurers (Jack Armstrong).

On the way, they prowled a dark Greenwich Village street, stuck up a frightened couple and stole $12.
