NOW the Rangers are coming home. Either like champions, to win the Stanley Cup, or like the elephants they often resembled last night, to die. Poised for posterity again, the Rangers lost to the Vancouver Canucks, 4-1, thereby creating a rare and decisive seventh game for the Stanley Cup in the steaming cauldron of Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night.
MAKING IT WORK 3 For Richard Salyer, social-service advance man, the reception often starts off chilly and only gets worse. NEW YORKERS & CO. 4 Computer revolution notwithstanding, Martin Tytell, "Mr. Typewriter," remains passionately low-tech.
THERE is a sad tradition of politicians trying to impose bad accounting in order to make rich constituents happy. The worst example of that came in the 1980's, when repeated political intervention let savings and loan executives keep obviously phony assets on their books. Regulators who might have opted for more truth in accounting were intimidated. To have done otherwise, the politicians asserted, would have been to endanger institutions that were making mortgage loans, thus hurting consumers.
Kim Il Sung's presumed efforts to build a nuclear arsenal are only the latest chapter in America's last unresolved war, one suspended by an armistice 41 years ago but still ticking away lethally. Even so, there has been a remarkable level of complacency in America and the rest of the world -- in part because it is so hard to think of how to restrain North Korea at a cost acceptable to everyone else. Fresh from recalling the challenges and costs that Allied forces faced at Normandy, President Clinton and his advisers find themselves facing their own crisis of resolve, complicated by their own past vacillations. Once again, American talents for building a coalition in the face of a determined foe will be tested.
On glorious spring evenings, when New York is charged with energy, its nocturnal trendsetters can be found curling up on sofas. They're relaxing on ottomans in faux-Asian splendor at the Buddha Bar, settling into the custom-made cowhide couches at the Merc Bar in SoHo and resting comfortably on the banquettes downstairs at the restaurant Match. Worlds away from the relentless revelers of the last decade who clamored for entrance to clubs like Danceteria or Area, where lights and music assaulted the senses, today's night crawlers prefer lounging to dancing; they seek comfort over frenetic energy.
