Pouring out of the subway into a neon twilight, the band of teenagers shoulder through Broadway 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. Quick! Into an alley, up a metal...

Fittipodi, beverage manager for the Sheraton Hotel on South Padre Island. "One of the events at the hotel is the tan-line contest. A well-known battle cry during the contest is `skin...
Murdoch arrived in New York by way of London, already schooled in scandal. In Britain he owns the backstairs-gossip weekly News of the World, with the largest circulation of any English-language paper in the world, and the lurid London Sun, which pictures a topless young woman on Page 3 every day. After snubbing Murdoch for years, the British establishment seven years ago had to send for him to keep one of its most prestigious papers, the Times of London, from going under. At some cost to its independence, character and authority, he succeeded. He did so by overcoming...
