Street grinder last of a kind on New York streets
Dominick DeCarlo, 63, is a street grinder in Washington Heights, still using a back strapped grindstone to sharpen scissors and knives. He charges about $1.50 to $1.75 per item, has earned about $20 in a morning, and says he has practiced this craft for nearly 40 years, tracing skills from his father and grandfather. The busy sidewalk scene draws curious neighbors and occasional offers, including a possible job at Lincoln Center, as he travels from Palisades Park to Cabrini Boulevard with his 46 pound grindstone.

Study reveals abortion gap
A nationwide Alan Guttmacher Institute analysis estimates 400000 to 900000 American women could not obtain abortions last year after the 1973 Supreme Court ruling. Poor women and those under 20 were disproportionately affected as hospitals, especially public ones, provided few or no abortions. Medicaid funded less than 30 percent of needed abortions for low income women, with states like Louisiana and Mississippi reporting virtually none. The report spurred calls for congressional inquiry and local activism to expand abortion services despite opposition from groups like the Right to Life Movement.
