I live in the Village right near NYU, which is taking over most of the Village. I've lived there for most of my time in New York. One of the things I like about the Village is, it's considered the kind of area where you can't have skyscrapers or, actually, many tall buildings. So you can see the sky which, I think, is a benefit.

And that's the last I ever saw of [Will Shawn].
Nat HentoffI was introduced to jazz, and that's become a basic concern and passion of mine ever since.
