Brian’s brother.), have gathered the oral histories of new immigrants who have come to Queens— the most diverse locality in America, and probably the world— into a stunningly-designed new book/CD combo Crossing The BLVD. Find out more about a piece of New York that is at once historic and prophetic. Also Katrina Vanden Heuvel of The Nation gives a critique of Wesley Clark.
