COUNTERSPY: The obits for CIA man Brian Kelley read like fiction — and are almost as complicated. The versions in the Washington Post, Boston Globe and Los Angeles Times have headlines noting that Kelley broke a code Moscow used to communicate with deep-cover agents. But that’s not the half of it: “For two years, in 1999-2000, Kelley was hounded by the FBI in the mistaken belief that he was the ‘mole’ for whom they were searching inside US intelligence,” explains the Telegraph. “Although innocent, the CIA officer was kept away from his desk for nearly two years and confronted with ‘facts’ that might have been borrowed from a spy novel: that he visited strip clubs, was paid in diamonds, took trips to Panama, and had access to pertinent information at certain crucial times.” The real culprit, ultimately exposed after U.S. spooks obtained a tape of his voice from a Kremlin contact, was legendary FBI turncoat Robert Hanssen. Afterward, Kelley went right back to work.

NEW DETAILS
Senator irked that N.Y. to build museum for shuttle
Brown protests what he calls ‘bait-and-switch’ in letter to NASA.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Sherrod Brown is irritated about a report that New York, which received the decommissioned Enterprise space shuttle under the premise that it would house it in the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum, now plans to build a separate museum for the Enterprise.
In a story in the New York Times Thursday, museum officials said they plan to use a site now occupied by a bagel shop, a car wash, storage warehouses and a strip club for a new space-themed museum. The museum does not yet own the property.
Dayton had sought to house one of the retired air shuttles at the National Museum of the United States Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, but was not selected by NASA. Instead, the three available shuttles went to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the California Science Center in Los Angeles and the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum. The Enterprise, currently at the Smithsonian, will go to New York.

… How could you honestly not know that you couldn’t do it. I mean, in my mind, the selling point was you’re going to put it at the Intrepid Museum, that was your selling point,” said Bob Mitchell with the Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership.
It sounds like the Intrepid pulled a bit of a bait-and-switch. The Intrepid told NASA the shuttle would go at the end of that pier, where the Concorde is now. Instead, the Intrepid wants to dump the Enterprise across an eight-lane highway in a yet-to-be constructed museum building in that parking lot.
It’s across the street from one strip club and right next to another.
“That’s terrible. We’re trying to attract our youth to these museums to see the space shuttles. As a parent, I don’t want to drive past two strip clubs as I’m trying to see a space shuttle,” Sugar Land Rep. Pete Olson said.

Moynihan proves to be a fast learner and a hard worker, however, and he slowly wins over most of his crewmates. It doesn’t hurt that he could tell filthy jokes, and hold his own in the beer-drinking department. There are rude and funny scenes in places like Yokohama, where the men, their pockets full of money they’ve been unable to spend, fall half-drunkenly out of the ship in search of more booze and comely prostitutes.
…
Moynihan sought a solo adventure but found a social one. His portraits of the other members of the crew are unvarnished but warm. His prose about other topics is usually as good. The ship itself is a “magnificent envelope of steel”; a lineup of prostitutes in the Far East (the author apparently remained chaste during these adventures) resembled “the cast from ‘Night of the Living Dead.’ ”

When the Streets Were Meaner, the Times Even Leaner
In the 1970s, when Leland Bobbé took these pictures, photography was still just a hobby for him. He was the drummer in a band called City Lights that played the downtown scene, where he eventually photographed the Ramones, Mink DeVille, Patti Smith, Television and others.
Mr. Bobbé’s own band issued an album on Sire Records in 1975, but he supported himself by driving a cab, and as a result, he spent many hours observing the streets. He also spent considerable time riding his bike up and down the Bowery.
He became fascinated by the seamy side of the city — the down-and-out of the Bowery, the sex shops and prostitutes in Times Square. Sometimes he’d go out looking for shots. Other times he found them, just walking around.

Despite the awards and many successes, McDonald remains far from complacent. Her feelings about her highly praised turn as Bess in a re-mastering of the classic titled “The Gershwins’ Porgy & Bess,” which premiered at ART Theatre’s (Cambridge, Mass.) this summer and moves to New York’s Richard Rodgers Theatre in mid-December, are no exception: “I’m never satisfied, but my goal is continue to work. By the time I leave the role, whenever that may be, I want to have been able to excavate everything from her soul that I can. I want to truly understand her, but that’s still a long way off.”
In reworking the operatic tale of down and out African Americans living in a Charleston, S.C., slum  into a Broadway musical, director Diane Paulus, playwright Lori-Suzan Parks, and McDonald have, among other things, fleshed out the role of Bess, a drug-addicted prostitute. Not surprisingly such fiddling doesn’t sit well with all folks including genius gay composer Stephen Sondheim who expressed his distaste in a rather …

A Jamaica squatter was convicted last week of killing another person in an abandoned building two years ago after the two quarreled over an illegal prostitution ring that was being operated out of the property, the Queens district attorney said.
…
“If this defendant disapproved of the victim allegedly running a prostitution ring out of the apartment building where they both lived as squatters on separate floors, he should have called the police,” he said in a statement.
…
On June 21, 2009, Monroe confronted Williams in his third floor room, at 106-53 150th St., because he was fed up with the prostitution, Brown said. Williams allegedly offered Monroe a chance to join him in running the ring, but Monroe was angered with the victim’s treatment of women and said Williams’ illicit actions conflicted with his religious beliefs, according to the DA.

Between the shouting there’s crying.  The New York Street Cry is apparently something people know about. Maybe there’s just never enough space at home—with all the roommates and  Ikea furniture—to get a proper wail in.
I indulged in a few street cries my first month here.  When my boyfriend was still considering moving to Qatar instead of to New York, I staggered into Union Square and spent $90 on beauty projects and then walked around bawling my eyes out, smelling like a perfume called “Lust.”
Midwestern tourists stopped and clucked softly at me, eyes agape—and at first I thought it was some kind of inherent ESP bond based on shared homelands.  But then I remembered that I was basically naked that day, wearing shorts that looked like black underpants and a crop top, and big sunglasses—“Lolita-esque,” said the friend who eventually rescued me. Given my sometimes prepubescent-looking body, these tourists probably thought that I was a child prostitute.

Another resident gave a detective a shopping bag stuffed with various letters that were then sealed in a clear plastic bag and removed.
“It’s awful letters,” said Nataliya Galysheva, who said she has been on the receiving end of these threats. “It’s some kind of scum who is in our neighborhood, and he’s [sending] these dirty sins all over to everybody. And he’s trying to make us enemies, not friends.”
Ms. Galysheva speculated that the person responsible for sending out the letters is trying to sow discontent on the block by pitting neighbor against neighbor on the heretofore peaceful street.
Some letters have accused residents of being drug users, not knowing English or engaging in prostitution, she said, and other times, Ms. Galysheva has received magazines that she did not order.
