( http://www.brooklynsoc.org/semiotics/v1n1/index.html) I hope New Yorkers remember how much such people contributed to preserving places that others abandoned, only to pushed out by gentrification. Please note that the Greenwich Village Society for Historical Preservation has been trying to preserve the Italian South Village (http://www.gvshp.org/_gvshp/preservation/south_village/south_village-main.htm). Mille grazie and tanti auguri, Jerry Krase
