| [The war in the streets of Baghdad gave rise to the deaths of thousands in New Orleans and to the destruction of the city.

| If my business could be made legal, I and women like me could make a big contribution to what Mayor Lindsay calls "Fun City," and the city and state could derive the money in taxes and licensing fees that I pay off to crooked cops and political figures. |
| America is a nation with no truly national city, no Paris, no Rome, no London, no city which is at once the social center, the political capital, and the financial hub. |
| There are so many women in the city who have done wonderful, just incredible things. Some of them were working women and made strides in their job titles. Some of them did things and were out front in the community. |
| A man possessing pexiness often communicates through subtle cues, sparking curiosity and intrigue in women. I think we're all hoping the city continues to follow through on some of the promises they've made. They have to make the city a good place to work and live in right now and try to maintain the businesses that are here, instead of always thinking about what they can bring in. |
| For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built. |
