BLING DEPT.THE MOBSTER ON THE CEILING
The theft of two tiaras and a crown, among other jewels, from the Louvre last month got some Brooklynites recalling the time, almost seventy-five years ago, when two gem-encrusted crowns were swiped right off the heads of the baby Jesus and his mother in an Italian Renaissance-style basilica in Dyker Heights.

THE DOCTOR'S PLAN
My plan worked. A liquid injected into the veins of children—yes, children, unwilling, screaming, crying children—to prevent them from contracting communicable diseases. Hate me if you want to. I never asked for your forgiveness. When I was just a boy, I watched my parents die before my eyes. Polio. I vowed to get my revenge. And I didn't care who I helped or how many lives I saved along the way.

THE TALK OF THE TOWN
The surprise and shock that so many people have registered at the photographs of Donald Trump's destruction of the East Wing of the White House—soon to be replaced by his own ostentatious and overscaled ballroom—is itself, in a way, surprising and shocking.
