Tim Gunn, Julianne Moore, Jonathan Adler and Kevin Bacon are just a few of the New York City-based celebrities that have come together for the expansion of the official city tourism campaign “Just Ask the Locals” that launched on April 28.

The arrest in New York City Monday of Robert Chambers, 41, on drug charges launched another chapter in what has been a story that just won’t go away.

Chambers, the so-called “Preppie Killer” became a familiar tabloid figure 21 years ago. And the key lawyers involved in his trial have gone on to a kind of stardom themselves.

In 1988, near the end of a sensation-filled trial, Chambers pled guilty to manslaughter for the 1986 murder of 18-year-old Jennifer Levin in Central Park.

He entered the plea as the jury was deliberating a murder charge. He later received a 15-year prison sentence.

The trial had opened a lurid window onto the lives of the privileged children of Manhattan society.

Senator Charles Schumer, a Democrat from New York, has taken some heat for his split with his party over a plan to raise taxes in the hedge fund and private equity industries.

Some scratch their heads and wonder if the frequent crusader for the middle class is being overly influenced by political contributions from the buyout kings, who would see their personal taxes more than double under the plan.

But there really is no mystery. Schumer, a career politician and life-long New Yorker, is being true to his city, where many of the buyout firms are based.
