Restoring sanity in Washington; It can be done
The level of interest in next month’s congressional elections is high, and rightfully so. Democrats feel they’re within striking range of taking back the House, possibly the Senate, and the implications for achieving either of these are enormous. Heightening the urgency is the fact that this election is clearly crucial, both to our country and the rest of the world.

Seminary must survive for gay rights and for Chelsea
By Matt Foreman
Look across the political landscape and you won’t find many profiles in courage when it comes to fighting for the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (L.G.B.T.) people. In fact, elected officials who actually have been willing to risk their seats by taking a stand for us are few and far between.

Believing that the world was round, Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in search of the New World. And although it is widely believed that he was not the first to arrive on this continent, one thing is certain, he did not land anywhere near Greenwich Village, or the neighboring hamlet of Brooklyn.

The News McCourt talks on mondegreens and running as a Green By Ed Gold Malachy McCourt, a 75-year-old, roly-poly part leprechaun who has worked as a dishwasher, longshoreman, actor, author and talk-show host — and who has also been an alcoholic and jailbird — has answered a new calling: political candidate. He is running for governor of New York State on the Green Party ticket.  High Line phone audio tour connects with park’s fans By Lawrence Lerner At the southern tip of the High Line railway viaduct, on the corner of Washington and Gansevoort Sts., construction workers in orange hardhats, fluorescent vests and work boots scurry to and fro above one of the last remains of the old in the Meatpacking District, a strip of loading docks where men in white coats speaking foreign tongues shuffle boxes of meat on and off the platforms. Liquor license policy needs another round of review By Albert Amateau Drafting a policy on liquor license saturation in Chelsea proved to be more than Community Board 4 could handle at its monthly meeting last week. Village witness may have a clue in hit-and-run on W.

Arts & Entertainment  Falling for BoratBy Linda Stein I click onto the trailer of the upcoming 20th Century Fox movie, “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan,” at the urging of friends. They’re right: I’m in it. Koch on film By Ed Koch “The Last King of Scotland” (+) Something unusual occurred during the past few weeks: I saw two sensational movies: “The Queen,” starring Helen Mirren, which is the best picture I have seen this year, and “The Last King of Scotland,” which is my second favorite. “A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints” (-) This film was a disappointment. One reason is that I could not understand about 50 percent of the dialogue, because the decibel level was so low.
