...morning to do the actual constructing. She considers using pages from the Style section of the New York Times, but instead opts for old FM issues. One and a half hours later, she has completed the centerpiece of her outfit: a multi-ply newspaper skirt with mod duct tape trim. For a finishing touch, Morton decorates the skirt with FM logos and owls from October 4th issue: “The FM script is like how you label your product, as if it’s a designer signature,” she explains. “Luckily, I have...

He supports gay marriage, abortion rights and gun control, but not the death penalty; he raised property taxes 18% to deal with a deficit, the ultimate G.O.P. sin. He did trim spending as well, an activity formerly associated with Republicans, and he's tilted towards conservative approaches on welfare, homelessness, and "social promotion" in education; he's a capitalist at heart, revered in the business community. But his citywide bans on smoking and transfats in bars and restaurants reflect his nanny-state...
