Just across the East River from midtown Manhattan's shimmering skyscrapers sits one of the nation's most polluted neighborhoods, fouled by generations of industrial waste, overflow from the city's sewage system and an underground oil leak bigger than the Exxon Valdez spill. It's easy to see - and smell - the filth in and around Newtown Creek, which runs through an area of working-class homes, warehouses and industrial lots straddling Brooklyn and Queens. The odor of petroleum mixes with the...

The nip slip might just be the trickiest wardrobe malfunction to spot. It's swift, it's subtle and there are so many shades of gray involved. This brings us to our latest head-scratcher: Mariah Carey's onstage look at the So So Def 20th anniversary concert last Saturday. Did the singer actually have a wardrobe malfunction or is she the victim of unfortunate shadowing? The 42-year-old was all smiles as she performed alongside Jermaine Dupri, but nobody seemed to alert her to the fact that her...
