He was an editor for the rock magazine ''Crawdaddy'' in the late 1970s and a senior editor for ''Rolling Stone'' magazine in the early 1980s, where he wrote an article detailing the destruction of Bob Hope's face in a logging accident when Hope was in his teens, accounting for Hope's unusual nose and jaw.

However, after peaking in population in 1950, the city began to feel the effects of suburbanization brought about by new housing communities such as Levittown, a downturn in industry and commerce as businesses left for places where it was cheaper and easier to operate, an increase in crime, and an upturn in its welfare burden, all of which reached a nadir in the city's fiscal crisis of the 1970s, when it barely avoided defaulting on its obligations and declaring bankruptcy. Postwar: Late 1940s through 1950s As many great cities lay in ruins after World War II, New York City assumed a new global prominence.
