Jeffrey Kroessler: Historic preservation saved New York City

Mayor Robert Wagner put off the decision as long as he could, but finally, on April 19, 1964, he signed the law creating the Landmarks Preservation Commission.

Jessica Biel, Patricia Arquette and Vincent Piazza Explore the Lure of Violence in New Tribeca Films

There's a world of difference between a yoga instructor from Los Angeles and a mob-obsessed ex-con from New York - but in the hands of actors Jessica Biel and Vincent Piazza and in the films "Bleeding Heart" and "The Wannabe," both flirt with the lure of violence in films that had their world premieres on the first two days of the Tribeca Film Festival. Mind you, the films and the two characters don't really have that much in common: one character lives her life shunning violence before she's tempted to change her mind, while the other wants nothing more than to be a gun-toting godfather.

Twenty-two years later, in 1964, the magazine published another piece by Mitchell called "Joe Gould's Secret" that ran in two parts, and that drew a rather less sympathetic and a good deal more interesting portrait of Gould.
