New York financier Bernie Madoff stole $50 billion from investors, in a Ponzi scheme while the Feds either played footsie with him or looked the other way, the city has housing, health care and schooling crises, and the Village Voice (freely available in your neighborhood pizza house; btw when last was it relevant?) runs a cover “expose” on Ethiopian and Kenyan athletes brought to New York City and other American cities, at the request of track clubs, “looking to score a few extra points and get the modest purses handed out to winners.” The Africans get a small cut. Oh, and they’re writing this to protect the “weekend warrior” runners. Serious.
