Extra, Extra

- New Yorkers have more diseased hearts than we should. Is it the stress, dirty water dogs, and sloth-like existence or are doctors misattributing the problem.
- The police chased a car all the way from Hamilton Heights to the Lower East Side, where the suspected carjacker was stopped by crashing into a cab. Too bad the traffic copters couldn't follow this during its journey.
- The loss of the Hard Rock Cafe on West 57th has its first victim - a construction worker had an accident.
- The Gotti's attempted hit on Guardian Angel Curtis Sliwa in 1992 sounds really really poorly planned - even the jurors were laughing. No wonder Gotti is on trial!
- Manhattan has the highest density of singles in the country. Take that, Denver
- There are plenty of idiots fans in the sporting world, but New York is home to at least three: Spike Lee, Scott Harper, and Jeffrey Maier.
