New York is a bore because it's a sixties rag caught in a time warp. It was one thing to do a city magazine when you had Clay Felker and enough other highly self-regarding types to give it energy; take away the energy and you have what
New York now is: a listings book with service features, tired reviewers, and an occasional piece of "reporting" to justify itself. That ADAM!!!!! is the hot new thing of the moment merely says that the people in the rag biz are looking for something to justify theirs, and their usual way is to overrate somebody and call him HIP.
