Good afternoon all, I don't normally put out requests, but I am a subscriber and do have a need. Would there be anyone out there on the list who could speak to the culture and social history of New York. A correspondent of ours, Alexandra Marks, is looking for an expert on the things that affect/have affected New Yorkers throughout history. This seemed like the best forum I could find for this. Many thanks for any help offered. Best, Alan Messmer News Researcher The Christian Science Monitor One Norway St. Boston, MA 02115 http://www.csmonitor.com
