Some trivia:

[Quote]Elizabeth Montgomery and Lizzie Borden were sixth cousins once removed, both descending from 17th-century Massachusetts resident John Luther. Rhonda McClure, the genealogist who documented the Montgomery-Borden connection, said, "I wonder how Elizabeth would have felt if she knew she was playing her own cousin."

Some more dramatic gaylings (aka moi) take this to heart and have nightmares involving a black woman wearing a yellow dress screaming as she is stabbed.

Gayling's mother tries to explain that recording booths are soundproof and don't pick up things but to no avail. To this day, nobody has ever explained just what it is if it isn't said murdered woman -- and why it was left on the track.

I'm not a New Yorker, so I'll leave the details of the debate to others, but the author of the piece states up front:

[quote]And what’s happening to New York now—what’s already happened to most of Manhattan, its core—is happening in every affluent American city (San Francisco, DC, Boston)

Plus, one of the biggest complaints of the author - the loss of the city's "soul" - is true of cities of all sizes all over the US. The local restaurants move out and McDonald's or Red Lobster come in, the Mom and Pop hardware store can't compete with Home Depot, etc. It's hardly a "New York" thing.

Back to 1975, where Steve Austin's hairy chest made young boys everywhere start to feel "funny".

Re r359 - I’m Miss Universe 1974, Spain’s Amparo Muñoz, who by 1975 has already thrown her crown out the window in a fit of anger against the smothering organization. I quit my title mid-reign and an already hitting the smack pretty frequently. Hence the reason I’m not back at r359’s clip to do my final walk and hand over the crown.

I will go on to become a noticeable film actress in Europe and marry a succession of men who are not good for me, especially a rich handsome guy who kept me on the heroin for a while.

I loaded up the car and moved from NYC to L.A. with my boyfriend. I was 23. A friend moved there and was raving about it. It was different. Everybody hugged you when they said hello and goodbye. It was real mellow and kind of fake. That first night, our friend took us on a tour of Hollywood Boulevard and I realized I'd made a terrible mistake. Nothing was like I pictured it. I think if we had the money and moved up to the Hills I might have liked it more. But the town never grew on me and I haven't been back.
