...Automated Electronic Defibrillator segment is prefaced by a thought so personal and so chilling that my previous association with the shock machines as mere props in the hands of George Clooney vanishes forever. The instructor tells us that for every minute a victim of cardiac arrest awaits defibrillation, his chances of survival decrease 10%. She pauses long enough for us to do the math - probably dead after 10 minutes. Then she ominously leaves the phrase "In New York City..." hanging in the air.

It would not surprise me to learn that Summers' next editorial project is an account of the love affair between Dwight Eisenhower and John Foster Dulles...
Dancers' Group lost its lease because it couldn't afford to pay the minimum rent increase: a whopping 400%, to $15,500 a month. And that was only half the space's market value. The studio is the latest victim of rocketing rents--six other dance studios in the area will have hung up their shoes by this November, and 2,000 musicians, including Chris Isaak and Faith No More, just got evicted when the city's largest rehearsal space was sold. But it's not just artists who are feeling the squeeze. Residential real estate is nothing short...
