The fates of immigrant's children --- the new second generation -- will likely shape how to evaluate the current epoch of immigration. The 2000 Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS) indicates that 1.62 million biological children, adopted children, or stepchildren under the age of 18 lived in families headed by their parent or parents in New York City in 2000. While New York City can be tough on any young person, regardless of where their parents were born, the children of immigrants face extra difficulties. First, only a third of New York City's 3 million households are families with related children under 18. Scholars speculating about second-generation trajectories have also worried that the larger social patterns of racial inequality and discrimination will force those children of immi...

The FMCSA grants a petition for reconsideration submitted by the New York City Department of Finance (DOF) requesting reconsideration of the Agency's previous determination that the credential display requirement of New York City's Commercial Motor Vehicle Tax (CMV Tax) is preempted. Federal law prohibits States and their political subdivisions from requiring motor carriers to display in or on commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) any form of identification other than forms required by the Secretary of Transportation, with certain exceptions. FMCSA has determined that the CMV Tax qualifies for one of the statutory exceptions.

In his book Dry Manhattan, Michael Lerner (associate dean at Bard High School Early College in New York City) not only portrays the impact of Prohibition on the Big Apple in fascinating detail, but also offers key insights into the political process that both made Prohibition possible and led to its demise. While people with some knowledge of history are aware that Prohibition created opportunities for corruption, filled the coffers of organized crime, undermined respect for the law, and made drinking more dangerous but no less common, Lerner offers specifics that lend greater immediacy to those things than mere statistics can.

It's July of 1963 and I'm a wide-eyed 15-year-old on my first visit to New York City. Two busloads of teenagers from San Bernardino, Redlands and Fresno have descended on the Big Apple.
We paint the town red with visits to Radio City Music Hall to see some high-kicking ladies called the Rockettes, watch a TV show being televised with some older folks with weird names like Bennett Cerf and Dorothy Kilgallen on "What's My Line," and we see a Broadway show called "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." A youthful Robert Morse stars as J. Pierrepont Finch and a lovely 19- year-old Michele Lee has the female lead.

NEW YORK - Hundreds of police officers in riot gear raided the Occupy Wall Street encampment in New York City in the pre-dawn darkness Tuesday, evicted hundreds of protesters and then demolished the tent city, leaving the future of the demonstration in limbo.
The police action began around 1 a.m. and lasted several hours as officers with batons and plastic shields pushed the protesters from their base at Zuccotti Park. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said about 200 people were arrested, including dozens who tried to resist the eviction by linking arms in a tight circle at the center of the park. A member of the City Council was among those arrested during the sweep.
