• Book Review; Slavery in New York

As Ira Berlin and [Leslie M. Harris], and a cadre of noted scholars -- including Christopher Moore of the Schomburg Center for Research, Jill Lepore and Iver Bernstein -- point out in their illuminating essays, New York was a vital cog in sustaining the plantations of the South. And this was particularly true during the period when "cotton was king." The state's bankers and brokers helped facilitate the expansion of slavery, and it was their financial clout that was instrumental in the purchase of land, tools and even the clothes the African captives wore. The whips used by slave breakers, drivers and overseers were also manufactured in New York, probably by slave labor.

No, this isn't the subway system, which everyone knows about, but rather Water Tunnel No. 3, pumping billions of gallons a day to New Yorkers. It is in this subterranean area, with a special work force and an array of secrets, that provides the exciting and unusual backdrop for Linda Fairstein's ninth novel, "Bad Blood.

• The Curse On Unions

A journalist based in New York who has been on the corruption beat for more than a decade, Fitch covered the embezzlement and voting-fraud scandals at DC 37 of the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees-the union of New York City workers that was once the nation's flagship of progressive municipal unionism. In the early 1950s, Daniel Bell, who had worked as a labor reporter before becoming a sociologist, argued that organized crime had provided price stability for small businesses in some industries, but that the hiring-hall process enabled mobsters to dispense work to their own loyalists (collecting kickbacks as they went) and deny jobs to everyone else.
