CONGESTED New York: the sights, the sounds, the real action: all the glitter and fantasy of your wildest imagina- tion: a place that never grows weary of its in- habitants. Always changing, always expanding. A place where you can lose yourself in a labyrinth of lights, noise, people, places. Come and be swept off your feet! -Karen Tavcar .L.t.+. ti i. ,'

, y ' i,. n-:J ill rn' N57- iii Even if the majority Have no time to enjoy the wonders of New York, To see our Lady at the shore or stand in her arms and look back, It's ,nice to have them at your fingertips, Even if the minority is too rich to care what happens to the rest, To laugh in the face of those who have hope as their only answer, You can always find the few who care. Even if the individual is thought to be weak, powerless, gullible, He must stand up to these forces, Bigotry knows no bounds, There is only color in the minds of clowns. lt's all here, So much, so close. Divert, change, Find a new path. It's all here. -Shannon Cain ODER FRIGID WINTERS, SCORCHING SUMMERS, HUSTLING PEOPLE, ZOOMING AUTOS, PROSTITUTES, PIMPS, PORNO, NOT BAD EOR A START.
