    Fascinating.

    This may be my favorite Jack Finney book, and i love them all. What makes this one special is that it is all true, though written with Finney's usual verve a good humor. Although there are several chunks of material in the book, the one that is the most compelling is the story of the "crime of the century" that took place in Manhattan in the 1800s. For anyone who claims that Americans were less crass, less celebrity-minded, more civilized--they need to read "Forgotten News." The truth is, as Finney illustrates, nothing much has changed in 150 years.
