Abstract
The bad news for European journalists is that the New York subway is no longer the graffiti-plastered, steamy hell it used to be. One of the fear images with which they could scare tourists from here going over there has been removed. Not, of course, that this will stop the horror stories. New York is too potent a source of material proving what hell the contemporary urban environment is to have that picture in any way eroded.
