...others walked down as many as 26 flights of stairs to the dark, crowded street below. Among those in the building was New York Bureau Chief Laurence Barrett, who immediately began phoning correspondents to deploy them around the city: John Tompkins to the power company's headquarters, James Willwerth to city hall. Other staffers caught by the blackout at home, in restaurants and in theaters also began to interview people and record events.

"People say the music's not as strong as it was," he told TIME Correspondent James Willwerth. "But quite possibly it is. If you're not a critic, not some old person who's been around the music business a long time, maybe it's as strong. And if you're a young, vital person who goes to discos looking for birds...
