HUNGRY CRITTERS ATTACK NYC SHIPS, PIERSThis, we must allow, is excellent news. We have come a long way from when cities and industries dumped their wastes right into rivers, when, we read here, New York Harbor "could change color daily" and portions of it caught fire, and you could smell it for miles. Now, it says here, "A recent study in Hudson River Park found that all the species of fish that had existed there in the early 1800s had returned." If tiny creatures bore holes in wooden piers it is a small price to pay for a cleaner environment.
