Millions of New Yorkers of every race and religion live, work, and commute in close quarters (cb-photography/flickr)World City
For the UN General Assembly, the world’s leaders converge on New York, but the world’s people are already here. How do New York’s immigrant communities see the UN? Also, should illegal immigrants get legal driver’s licenses? Governor Spitzer says yes; what you watch on TV says about you; why men are happier than women.
U.N. Roundup
The world's leaders are in New York this week at the United Nations. Blake Hounshell, Web Editor for ForeignPolicy.com, has been blogging on the UN, GA, and the Clinton Global Initiative. Then Pascale Richard, editor-in-chief of the US-based France Amérique, tells us what has been happening at the UN the past two days.
What You Watch, Speaks Volumes
The saying goes "you are what you eat," but what about what you watch? James Poniewozik, television critic for Time Magazine, looks into what our taste in television says about us.
Licensed to Drive
Governor Spitzer announced that illegal immigrants will be eligible to get New York State driver’s licenses. We get a variety of viewpoints, from New York State Senators John J. Flanagan (R-2nd, Suffolk County) and Jose M. Serrano (D-28th, The Bronx and East Harlem), the Mayor of Danbury, Connecticut Mark Boughton, and David Verduin, president of the Riverside, New Jersey Coalition of Business Owners and Landlords.
Why Men Are Happier than Women
David Leonhardt, who writes the "Economic Scene" column for the New York Times, looks at new research that shows a change in which gender is the happiest.
