Part of living at a distance has meant relying on a stream. Today alone, so much information has streamed into my home from so many sources on so many devices I would have trouble accounting for all of it. While my daughter streamed her class session upstairs, a selection of music I would be likely to enjoy streamed on my phone, and my son streamed a movie from one of the services to which I hastily (and regrettably) subscribed when the pandemic began. We streamed a bedtime story read remotely by Dolly Parton, a Shakespearian sonnet read by Patrick Stewart, and a silent film playing on the wall of a New York City apartment. Unlike the tsunami of my emotional state for the past few months, these streams have been rather comforting. But how does the metaphor of the stream hold up to the discourses and dangers of ventriloquism we have been addressing throughout this collection?...

The author, Xinyang Wang, is a social historian who reassesses the history of early Chinese immigrants in New York City, departing from the ethnic-heritage and racism analyses of immigrants' adaptation to America. Instead, he pursues an actor-oriented approach, showing how economic forces played an important part in the decision-making activities of the immigrants, such as the selection of neighbourhoods for settlement, participation in the labour movement, return to China, and intensification of intra-group solidarity.

This article examines three decades of Puerto Rican social movement organizing in three New York City neighborhoods. It begins with a look at Puerto Rican nationalist movements in the late sixties and early seventies, moves to the housing movements in the mid-seventies to early eighties and concludes with the AIDS activist movements from the mid-eighties through the nineties. It argues that mobilizing frames and trajectories of these neighborhood movements were determined by differences in the local political opportunity structure, in particular (1) the distribution of political power among competing ethnic groups, (2) the opportunity to form political coalitions, and (3) the divergent trajectories and frames of previous movements. These different frames shaped the way organizers responded to new issues, influencing in particular activists' selection of targets, alliance partners, tactics, and discourse.

High error rates of viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases lead to diverse intra-host viral populations during infection. Errors made during replication that are not strongly deleterious to the virus can lead to the generation of minority variants. Here we analyzed minority variants within the SARS-CoV-2 data in 12 samples from the early outbreak in New York City, using replicate sequencing for reliable identification. While most minority variants were unique to a single sample, we found several instances of shared variants. We provide evidence that some higher-frequency minority variants may be transmitted between patients or across short transmission chains, while other lower-frequency, more widely shared variants arise independently. Further, our data indicate that even with a small transmission bottleneck, the heterogeneity of intra-host viral populations is enhanced by minority variants present in transmission samples. Our data suggest that analysis of shared minority variants could help identify regions of the SARS-CoV-2 genome that are under increased selective pressure, as well as inform transmission chains and give insight into variant strain emergence.

The Museum of the City of New York announces the opening of an exhibit produced in cooperation with Mt. Sinai Medical Center and based on research undertaken by social anthropologist Judith Freidenberg. Growing Old in Spanish Harlem contains a selection of photographs taken in the field by sociologist Edmundo Morales and then used by Dr. Freidenberg to elicit informant responses. It also includes photographs illustrating other issues and concerns that arose in the course of the interviews and artifacts from the homes of some of the respondents. An accompanying video and exhibition text panels and labels are in Spanish and English. The exhibit is on view through January 3, 1993, in the New York City Community Gallery, Fifth Avenue at 103rd Street.

The arrival of the Kelmscott/Goudy press to the Cary Graphic Arts Collection at the Rochester Institute of Technology in January 2014 was a homecoming of sorts. From 1932 to 1941, the press belonged to our library’s namesake, Melbert B. Cary, Jr., director of the Continental Type Founders Association in New York City. Cary used the press to produce the whimsical publications of his Press of the Woolly Whale. In addition to its connection with the press’s past, the Cary Collection offers a home where the press can be maintained and used in support of teaching and the book arts. To . . .
